1. A method for generating a composite image including:
- presenting a first image via a Web interface presented on a browser, the first image being generated from a product image file including warp information;
presenting a second image via a Web interface presented on the browser;
communicating a selection of the first image and the second image to a server via a network;
automatically generating a composite image of the first image and the second image at the server, the automatic generation of the composite image using the warp information included in the product image file, the automatic generation of the composite image including placing the second image onto the first image according to a warp ratio; and
communicating the composite image from the server to the browser via the network.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for generating composite images are disclosed. A first image is selected via a Web interface presented on a browser and a second image is selected via a Web interface presented on the browser. The second image is positioned relative to the first image to generate relative positioning information. The selection of the first image and the second image and the relative positioning information is communicated to a sever via a network and a composite image is generated at the server. The composite image is communicated from the server to the browser via the network.
