RE: Dynamic image resizing etc.

Ditto on that. There's an imagemagick tagset out there, but it always caused
more problems than it solved and created way more overhead that it seemed I
would ever need.

  There is a CFC or UDF or something on the Macromedia Exchange.
  Personally I've always just built my string in a variable and then run
  ImageMagick via CFEXECUTE.

  Perhaps if ImageJ had a bicubic resizing option, it would be fine. But
  since
  not, I have had luck doing a few different things.

  1. Blur your image before resizing. The thumbnailed image comes out
  about
  97% as good as a bicubic resizing option, good enough for most.
  Typically if
  the image is larger than 5x your thumbnail, you may need to blur it
  twice
  before resizing.

  2. Use imagemagick. It's a good program and works really well. This is
  what
  I ended up doing.

  rotate,
  add
    text, etc. to images.  For the most part, I'm fairly happy, but the
  images
    seem to come out a little bit distorted and not quite as clean as I'd
  like.
    Does anyone know of a better set of classes (preferably with a CFC

  Any

I'll second the ImageMagick option.  It's the solution I settled on
quite some time ago and has worked very well for me for a long time.
