I'm using Matt Gifford's trick of returning the cropped image via an ajax request: http://www.mattgifford.co.uk/image-cropping-with-coldfusion-jquery/
So, yes, I suppose I could save it at that point, but it would remove the functionality of being able to revert to the original which is rather handy. There must be a way of getting at the servlet images though?
