ABSTRACT:
A method and system for serving an image in multiple formats from a photohosting site is disclosed. The method and system include storing a set of format parameters and respective parameter values in a configuration file. When a request for a modified image containing one or more of the formats is received, each of the format parameters are looked-up in the configuration file and the value corresponding to each of the format parameters is retrieved. A command line is then automatically generated in which the retrieved format values are used as command line options, and the command line is then interpreted to invoke image processing library calls to generate the modified image. The modified image is stored in a file system, and at least a portion of the command line option is used as an identifier for the modified image. In a further aspect of the present invention, the format parameters in the configuration file are also retrieved and displayed to the user on a web page for selection when the user is requesting a modified image from the photohosting site.
