You can use cfx_image to manipulate text and certain elements (ie. overlay images on top of another image and so on) and resave as a new image. I did a pseudo drop shadow with text before by overlaying the same text field in two different colors slighly offset. Just download and install. The documentation is all there although a bit cryptic. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/4282/download.htm

Does anyone know how to dynamically generate formatted images. i.e. 1. A client fills out a web site banner name in a form and presses submit 2. That automatically generates the banner image, with formatting rules like drop shadow, etc. I know Macromedia Generator does this, but its a very heavy price to pay in terms of server load and up front costs. Are there any other good alternatives? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
