that's exactly what i am doing for my client who wants to create custom ads for their products (tours). my situation is easier in a way that the ads are pre-st size and i have a transparent .png of same size to put text on, add shadows etc, and then overlay it over the product image. easy as pie with cf8 and imageUtils.cfc from Ray/Ben & Co.
