Is it not little late to ask your self now what plaform or language you want to use? Should not be you saying I want to use this language because I'm more profecient with use of it, or I use this because I wish to learn something new?
I did little similar project to yours, or better to put it this way. I did project about image processing using Java.
Reason

1. Familiar with Java
2. Used libraries for free
3. Platform independent (my application happily run under windows, mac and unix)

Thats exactly what I wanted to say!!!but i forgot to mention about it anyway...

>yes, my coding language will be java.

>I wanna use Java Imaging API or flash layers to implement the watermark

But what i wanna know about is:

>are there many types of watermarking i can implement?

>I need to make watermarking my main theme for the project so, just going about watermarking an image wouldnt help.

>Plenty of AJAX needs to be implemented,so, where exactly can i implement AJAX here....gimme ideas...





The website will be a photo uploading site, where photos can be organized into galleries, albums. The images will be watermarked with the user's choice of watermark. Im thinking about having them upload a watermark and the image will be watermarked with it!

Gimme more ideas.....lotsa ideas so i can choose the ones my HOD will approve
