Theres a text file on nothing but IML in the zip here. http://www.kolumbus.fi/jukka.manner/ > 2) If I need to do a two-step process, for example, resizing the image > AND converting the file to another format, should I first resize, then > park the output in a temp directory, then in the second step, grab the > image from the temp directory then output to the final directory? One would THINK that doing your changes would be better suited for the original image type but i dont really know about that. CFX_Image has always given me poor image quality anyway....thats why I switched to efflare's CFX_ImageCR. Efflare also has some other great tags for image manipulation. I'd check them out if you are going to be dealing with images that users upload alot. > 3) After the conversion/resizing process, I want to grab the full file > path, then write this info to a database. How do I get the final image > name and CFSET as a variable, so I can do a db insert. once you are done with the image, as far as manipulating t, you had to CFFILE Action=Copy or Action=MOVE to get it where it needed to be right?? just use the path destination info from your last CFFILE tag??? You had to use the path to get it where it's at somewhere in the code. <CFFILE ACTION="move" SOURCE="#Temp_Directory_Path#\My_New_Image.jpg" DESTINATION="#Final_Image_Destination_Path#\My_New_Image.jpg".......... <CFSET ImageLocation="#Final_Image_Destination_Path#\My_New_Image.jpg"> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Leder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 6:44 AM Subject: CFX_Image Help > Hi All, > I'm using this tag to grab an image file uploaded by an end user through > a "file" form field. > > I want to convert it to jpg and resize it if necessary (borrowing from a > CFDJ article. > > Three issues: > > 1) I keep seeing in the HOF list archives that developers are using an > ACTION="iml", though I can't find documentation for that attribute > anywhere in the CFX_Image docs (v1.6.6.9).
