Hi,

Do you know any plugin that would let the user upload an image and then  
present the uploaded image on the page, so the user could resize and  
scale the image himself ?

Thanks,  
Mickael.

I think there was a recent railscast showing something similar. Maybe it  
would work for you, or at least give you a place to start:
