Need a little help finding an image upload/manipulation script

[Jax2]

Hi all, been a while since I've been on here.

 

I am in the process of designing a site similar to dating sites like plenty of fish, or ok cupid. The only spot I am running into trouble is with images. 

 

If you are familiar with either of these sites, you will understand what I am looking for. 

 

Basically, a user is able to upload one or more images via an uploader (Not sure if it's ajax or flash to be honest, but I would like to stick to PHP/Ajax).

 

While uploading, they have the ability to crop their images to specific sizes set by the site - for example, the image must be cropped to fit  a 400 px X 400 px area, so they have the ability to decide which part of a larger image is saved rather than just have the system crop it and perhaps not show what was intended. 

 

After they finish and click upload, the image is saved to the server, as well as a thumbnail, which, without a refresh, is then added to their page along with their previous images if there were any. From that point, they have the option to delete images they don't like, set the main image for their profile and edit/add captions to the images, again, all without refreshing the page. 

 

Would anyone happen to know of a script I could start with and change to suit my needs, but that would pretty much allow this kind of image uploading/manipulation? I've done google searches for hours now and have looked at a ton of scripts but not a single one I have found seems to be able to do any of these things. Most just have multiple file uploads with cropping ability, but not by the users themselves, just a predetermined dimension. 

 

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
