Take a look at http://blog.paranoidferret.com/index.php/2007/12/11/flex-tutorial-an-asynchronous-jpeg-encoder/ and http://www.envrac.org/index.php/2008/06/23/181-reduction-de-bitmapdata-smoothing-pourquoi-c-est-pas-beau-et-comment-ameliorer – techniques and classes from both of these links were incorporated into ImageSizer.

The first link is an Asyncronous JPEG encoder – useful as a technique as well as a class for dealing with actions that would otherwise cause the application to hang – and the other link discusses an effective way of reducing an images’ size for processing.

As for the size limit on Bitmaps, it is 2880 x 2880 for individual bitmaps in ActionScript, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t work with larger ones – I believe there is some technique for cutting the image into manageable chunks, and then stitching them back together afterwards.

And the Application is all Marks work – I’m just hosting/promoting it!
