title: Load local image into browser using JavaScript?
body: <p>I'm currently developing a solution for a web-to-print, poster printing application.</p>
  
  <p>One of features I'd like to include is the ability to 'edit' (crop/scale/rotate) a given image, before proceeding to order a poster of said image.</p>
  
  <p>To avoid the requirement of the user uploading the image to a remote server before editing, I'd like to know the following:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is it possible (using JavaScript) to load an image stored on the client machine into the browser / browser memory for editing, without uploading the image to a remote server? And if so, how is this done?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>BK</p>
