So we have a client with a 'vision' for their site. They sell artwork; either in portrait or landscape size. For each, they have several size options, several frame options, and several mat options. They want us to be able to generate images to show the user what they are purchasing.

Right now I have a functioning bit of JavaScript to show / hide frames, and show / hide mats and I'm just overlaying them on top of the image. But they say that if you switch from say - a 12x16 to say... 10x14 well... that size change has to be reflected in the 'perspective'.

My boss says they are paying enough that I need to 'do it' and just ignore my grinding teeth - but it's just... how am I going to account for all of these options? They're going to have like, 5 frame options, and 10 mat options (all of these will be standard) that I have to account for... and now they want me to basically double or triple that already large combination by having frame options that are only 'slightly' different for each size option?

If any of you have done anything similar and could share your wisdom (or booze-inspired jokes) with me I would be forever grateful.
