Image tool: basic editing and upload/output features?

[wickedboy]

I'm looking for a php tool/library which will allow my users to upload an image, edit it (basic stuff), add text and output to png, jpg and pdf. Don't mind paying a few notes but would prefer open source . If you know of any I'd be most grateful!

Don't know any specific tools but if it is PHP it will be based on the GD Library. If you do any coding, have a look at the library yourself, it is very useful for various tasks.

Many thanks for replying/

As I am hiring a developer to do this... how long would it take developing such a tool using the GD Library please?

Not easy to answer that as it depends on how complex the final application becomes. I say becomes because these apps have a tendency to grow at an alarming rate as you discover new uses for them.

The editing part is the hardest to set up but it would really depend on what the images are for.
Allowing visitors to edit pictures on your site sounds like a recipe for trouble.
