What programs did you use to make this photo editor?

Yes, I use PHP/GD for backend and jQuery for interface. I'm phasing out jQuery UI in favor of a custom-brewed solution, since I don't use that much of jQui anyway. I'm using Geany to write code on Ubuntu and Windows, and Fx3.5, Arora0.8, Chrome, and IE8 for testing. Some of the code has found its way onto the forums in various ways...

Now that it works, I really need to work on the sex appeal.
