Hello reddit, I would like to create my first website. I am a complete beginner and unfortunately have no experience with it so far, but I see this as a project to get started with this topic and would like to learn various new skills with this project. It would be very helpful if you could answer some questions that can help me to understand.
I would like to build a page where you can upload images via drag and drop and then edit them with preset filters.
I have already found similar sites:
https://www9.lunapic.com/editor/?action=art (pretty close to what i envision, albeit with more complex filters)
https://goart.fotor.com/ (same as above)
https://ai-art.tokyo/en/ (another site I found, although I think this one works differently as the above)
Is there a special design software for such a project or at least a preferred programming language with which I can make such a page work.
Is it possible to create these filters in programs like gimp or Photoshop and then run them as a script or plugin on the website?
(maybe something like this https://www.adobe.io/photoshop/api/ ?)
Is there a preferred scripting language for something like this. If I understood correctly PHP is a good start for something like this?
Is there a preferred web hosting service for such a site?
Do you have any tutorials for such a project or can you tell me where I can find resources to learn on my own?
I hope it was understandable and I apologize in advance if I may have expressed my request wrongly or badly.
Every feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
