can sketch out a plan for what needs to be done and is willing to

If someone gets as far as making a imagemagick wrapper where you can
move sliders then hit submit and get a new image with the sliders in
effect, I'll gladly write the JS needed to update the screen on the
fly.
AJAX is pretty straight forward. You run a timer, or hook an event via
Javascript, and when something has changed you fire off a http request
to get the new output and register chunk of JS to handle the reply.
The reply comes in, your handler then does something with it such as
replacing part of the page with it.
