SVG is a vector graphics drawing specification. In general its obvious applications usually include generating different attractive, interactive, and sometimes data driven images. This Technical Note will focus on another function SVG can be used for: manipulating existing images. Different types of images can be embedded into an SVG document, then any type of manipulation which can be done to a group or other SVG element can be applied to the embedded image.

In this Technical Note three different types of image manipulation are explored: resizing, reflection, and fading. The strategies are described and a sample database showing how to implement these functions is included.
