I put the image resizer online :-) http://www.workwithcolor.com/1-2-3-image-resizer-01.htm It has preset values to make the process fast but also several options including the ones you mentioned.

I think grain is not too difficult to implement. Thanks! I would be exited about highlight and shadow adjustment. I will see... My girlfriend asked me to implement the two effects along with resizing and cropping functionality. I think I have to make that first :-)

Hello Alan, thank you for your reply. It did say on the website you need the silverlight plug-in, right? I just ask to make sure there's no unexpected error... Maybe I sould post conversion examples in here. I'm not sure though what colored photos would serve as a good example?

Hello, I've lately been working on online applications to convert pictures to black & white / sepia tone. I'd like to ask for feedback on how you like the quality / the outcome of the conversion. I know this also depends on personal taste since there aren't strict rules for such conversions...
