I'm trying to implement zooming and panning a canvas which contains a picture. I found this example http://phrogz.net/tmp/canvas_zoom_to_cursor.html, but the transformations are applied on the picture withing the canvas, not on the canvas itself. I don't understand the code completely, so I didn't manage to customize it for my needs. Can someone help me with that?
Or, if you could recommend me some good library suitable for my needs, that would be great. Thanks.

Check out the transformation methods available on the context object.
Context.scale will allow you to scale your content.
Context.translate will allow you to offset the drawing of your content to create your panning effect.
If you want 2 overlaying canvases to maintain their aspect ratio then you would scale & translate both canvases by the same amount.
Here's example code and a Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/H6UMN/
