This actually helped me understand how canvas drawimage works. The docs drew me crazy but this was very well explained!
Thank you Drew ✌

When I got introduced to slicing images I got so confused but you helped clear it up so thanks!

The problem I have is that the original image is displayed also.
How do you only display the image in the canvas, not 2 images, one in the canvas and one above the canvas.

Hey just wondering what best practices on where your images should be stored. Should it be stored locally or at a https URL?

[esthefanymezquitaruiz]
