So, the shared host is providing the core, or do you have multiple sites sharing the core?
I think you would need to reload the application to pick up on the extended property. Did you try that or are you unable to that as well? I am looking into the use of CF8's image manipulation tags as well. I don't think I have seen a way to 'pad' the images, but you wouldn't have to since the images wouldn't need to fit into a predefined image size.
