Hello Chathura, The editor can be as complex as you want it to be (depending on your skills and previous experience), but it has to be accessible for beginners. If you're good at designing usable interface, that shouldn't be a problem, but if you're new to it, then it's probably best to keep things simple.
There has been quite some discussion on the mailing list about this project, so I invite you to browse the archives for some pointers. >From my point of view, since most people will store pictures, it's important to offer basic photo editing tools such as filtering and cropping, but adding text is also important nowadays and so is sharing to social media networks. Think about what exists out there on mobile per example and see if you can bring some of the most used functionalities to an ownCloud app. Regarding the algorithms, I've added my thoughts on the issue in Github. It will really depend on what works. Ideally it should be possible to use on mobile and that may mean that the final processing has to be done on the backend, but if the experience is too poor, then we may need to only allow the app on desktops. Not a big problem since there is already an ownCloud mobile app which allows users to have access to their pictures and edit them on their mobile using native tools. As you can see, nothing is set in stone. I think it's part of the experience to be able to come up with well defined goals for a project and that will require experimenting a bit before building the project plan.
