I'm not really in a position to build an AJAX based image-editing suite from scratch. I don't have enough experience in javascript, PHP etc. OTOH, I think I can probably, possibly with a bit of help, hack some sort of integration with the 3rd party site.

So, who's putting their hand up to do some coding? Or alternatively, can sketch out a plan for what needs to be done and is willing to answer questions about how MediaWiki works etc?
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.
