Abstract: A computer program product creates a production file of an image for application to a custom-imprinted article. The product comprises instructions for displaying at least one web page, down-loading an image, which may be a proxy for a full resolution image, displaying the image in a rendering area of said web page, displaying rendering instruction controls, locally processing the displayed image in accordance with the rendering instructions, and up-loading of the rendering instructions on completion of rendering. The image display instructions provide for displaying a mask in a mask layer and for displaying at least one editable or renderable image in an image layer that underlies the mask layer and appears only through the mask. The images for use with the product including thumbnail images, preview images, proxy images and full resolution images are advantageously provided with a unique identifier within a naming convention established at an image-publishing site.

Abstract: A system and method for receiving and validating user input for a computer resource entered into a computing system or network, and distinguishing valid and invalid portions of the user input. The invalid resource identifier, which ranges from a least specific portion to a most specific portion, is partitioned into a plurality of fields. At least one of the fields corresponding to the most specific portion of the invalid resource identifier is removed from the invalid resource identifier to create a modified resource identifier, wherein the modified resource identifier is used to attempt to access a higher level computer resource. The fields corresponding to the most specific portion of the resource identifier are removed until the modified resource identifier proves to be a valid resource identifier which can access a computer resource.
