I have come across a need for this many times, often there's a simple trick you can do to get by it (i.e. setting an image as a background of an input element, rather than overlaying the image on top, or using transparent backgrounds along with z-index fiddling) however, I would definitely consider using this tool for rapidly building a layout. I like your presentation as well, clear layout with a brief to-the-point message.

My only concern would be performance, right off the bat I see a few nested for-loops in the code and am wondering what sort of performance hit you'd be looking at if you use this for several images on a single page. I didn't thoroughly trace through the code or anything, I am just thinking out loud here.



Performance is a valid concern, but so far in the tests I've run I haven't hit any real problems. If you encounter any slow downs or real performance issues, I'd love to hear about them (and hopefully eliminate them!)

Thanks!
