I ended up using something like this for a CF7 app: http://archive.devx.com/webdev/articles/ml080102.asp
While it worked fine, the quality of the images it spit out was a little lacking. I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but when resizing a jpg photo, you could definitely tell the image has been manipulated. I'm sure if I cared enough, I could have found a way to increase the quality. However, this was for a photo album of sorts for a small little website I wrote, and it wasn't that important that the pictures be print quality. I mostly cared about file size, in which case, this was perfect. I haevn't tried the image manipulation built into CF8 yet since it seemed like I had more powerful options using JAI anyhow. > Hi, > > We are planning to add a feature to our existing App's where in the user > will upload image file and we would store it in a location. > > I saw a nice example with image shrinking etc but its for CF 8. > http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/5/20/ColdFusion-Image-Processing--Shrinking-an-image-but-not-the-canvas > > I need something for CF 7.
