CLIENTSIDE IMAGE RESIZE UPLOAD

What is the most efficient way to upload a image file and resize it client side before it uploads. I am trying to avoid the server performing these task.

you would need to access the file system to load the image in the first place.So its a standalone application, or if you want it on a webpage, an applet / activex control to do the image resize clientside before sending it to the server..

How much labor time and cost do you think it would take to write this. Or is already written.. where can we buy?
