Yeah, a crop would cut off a pic that's too tall.
The reality is that in most applications, the best way to do thumbnails
is to create thumnails that are a consitent size... something like 75x75
no matter what the image dimensions are. This way it's easier to output
the thumbnails in a friendly way, and the design looks better because of
the consistency.
Now that said, that means most of the time you're having to remove parts
of the image for the thumbnail. If you were doing the thumbs by hand,
you'd actually select the most representative part of the image to use,
rather than just reducing the entire thing and randomly cropping. But
with dynamic apps, that's near impossible to do, since you don't have
human judgement to rely on.

Jake,
It does have a crop function along with a bufferedCrop, and a
cropresize. If I did a crop on the picture wouldn't that take part of
the picture away?
I noticed on the fifth picture on this site that the vertical picture
got turned in the a horizontal picture..

Really what you're needing is a crop function. You'd resize in one
direction, then crop in the other direction. I can't recall if tmt_cfc
has a crop function though.

Hi Everyone,
I'm going try to explain this the best I can, but if I fail please ask
questions.
I'm working on a real estate site and using some CFC code to
automatically resize photos when the agents upload them in the admin
area. One thing I did not count on was that the agents would upload
vertical pictures (taller than they are wide). This is causing some
problems with my code.
Using the CFC code I am able to resize the photos by width of 400px,
which is good for the horizontal pictures, but it doesn't work well
for those vertical photos. The pictures are still too tall to fit
into my site.
Has anyone used tmt_img.cfc to resize photos and know how to handle
this, or does anyone else have any suggestions?
tmt_img.CFC
