Wix offers a huge collection of images and some awesome image editing tools built into the Wix editor.
I was wondering if it will be possible using WIX code to access these image editing controls - example I could use a photo with a black and white filter and on hover I would like to show the original color photo. While this can be done using two photos, but photos make a site heavier.
