Re: ColdFusion 9 64-bit Image Manipulation

2011-07-29 Thread Matt Williams

Yes, try the built-in functions in CF.

Our 32-bit apps use imagecr3, which I believe has a 64-bit version in beta.
Our 64-bit apps use imagemagick.

Image Manipulation Problems with CF8/Win7

2009-05-26 Thread Rick Faircloth

Just let me start with saying that I'm loving using Windows 7...stable,
slick, *all* my software runs
so much better than in XP (never did used Vista...skipped that
party)...however...

One issue is really getting on my nerds...whenever I try to run the same
code that I've used for
years and just recently before switching over to Windows 7 for uploading a
new image, creating
the various version I need, then deleting the original image, I get errors
that CF can't delete
the image for some unknown reason.  Someone using Win 7 came up with a
workaround...putting
the image name in a database then running a scheduled task to delete later.
It works, but that is
a lot of extra coding, processing, etc.  I was willing to go that route, if
necessary, but...

Now, I run into the fact that I can't immediately rename a file I just
uploaded.  I'm thinking this is the same
basic issue as with deleting...Windows 7, perhaps with CF 8, is somehow
locking down the file for
a period of time (it usually with release control after a little time
passes...seconds to minutes)
until it allows the file to be deleted or changed.

Saving an original, *unused* file's name to a db for scheduled deletion
would work...a lot of trouble, but it would work.
Preventing me from renaming a file immediately is a no-go.  (Perhaps I can
copy the file and then rename the
copy)

Is there anyone testing or working on Windows 7 that has run into these
issues (basically one issue) and
figured out what's going on and if there is a solution?  It's not a problem
with the code code...it's the same exact code
I was previously running on XP and CF 8...only the OS has changed.

I couldn't find anything on Google or other search engines, etc., that
addresses this.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Rick

Michael,
Thanks for the reply.
I already have that handled and it works great.
I am drawing autocad type drawings using the new cf8 image tools and I was
trying to find an easy way to add perspective, but now I am just going to
force the user to be a little more precise by letting them define 3 points
after they upload their photo along with the exact distances, then I can
scale my drawings perfectly to their dimensions and problem solved.
Coldfusion comes through again like always and thanks to everyone in CF-Talk
as usual as you always start the juices flowing.

normal 8 handles? what is that? where is it 'normal to see them???

the only thing i can think of where an image has 8 handles when you

what handles are you talking about?

 Has anyone seen a way to click on an image and then get the normal 8 handles
 and be able to massage the angles by clicking on a corner handle and
 adusting the perspective or clicking in the middle and moving the whole
 image.

Re: CF8 Image manipulation

2009-03-08 Thread Peter Boughton

Your browser is not an image editor - it cannot manipulate *any* images in this 
way -regardless of what server-side language/application generated them.

RE: CF8 Image manipulation

Azadi,

What I was trying to explain was normally when you click on an image object
you get top left, top middle, top right, left, right, bottom left, bottom
center and bottom right handles that you can then manipulate them. Sorry it
was late.

normal 8 handles? what is that? where is it 'normal to see them???

the only thing i can think of where an image has 8 handles when you
click on it is M$ applications... and even then it is not always the case...
what handles are you talking about?

I beg to differ, but I have a cfx_efflare and it allows me to click on an
image and crop it on the admin area of my sites. I can click and drag to any
part of the image and then resize to my heart's content.

What I am looking for is a way to do a similar thing only basically change a
rectangle into a trapezoid in order to make the perspective of the image I
am placing over another fit perspective wise.

Not trying to start a flame here, just looking for some new ideas.

them.

The last time I looked at CFX_Efflare, it didn't have any client-side

not enough.

RE: CF8 Image manipulation

2009-03-08 Thread Terry Troxel

Dave,

I sent the guys at Efflare a the code I downloaded at
http://www.defusion.org.uk/demos/060519/cropper.php 

And they sent me a script for cfx_imageflare to allow me to do the
following:

User uploads a photo, cfx_imagecr3 resizes to 760px with proper aspect
ratio, optimizes to 72 dpi. 
The resulting image is then displayed in the browser.
Then when the user clicks on the image the cropping code I got from the link
above displays a 760px x 300px rectangle that can be dragged up-down to
select the panoramic view to crop from the image when you click the submit
button.

I Have forced the width to be 760px for my task, but as you wull see in the
demo link there is much, much more.

But what I am looking for is how to use the same functionality as above. But
to be able to decrease the bottom width and leave the top alone to create a
trapezoid.

Re: CF8 Image manipulation

2009-03-08 Thread Peter Boughton

Cropping is easy, because JavaScript can mimic it with transparent/shaded 
backgrounds, and just send the coordinates of the corner back to the server to 
perform the actual manipulation.

Likewise, normal resizing is also rectangular and easy to mimic in JS.

Creating a trapezoid is more difficult, you wont be able to get a 'live 
preview', though you could use a similar technique to the cropping to define 
the widths of the top and bottom edge.

However, there aren't any trapezoid/trapezium mainupulations with CF8s image 
functions - the closest is Skew/Shear which wont do what you want.

I couldn't find any useful Java-based results either - apparently Java 
manipulations keep lines straight and parallel, which prevents trapezoiding as 
this obviously makes them non-parallel.

Maybe you could investigate using GIMP on the command line to do this - 
although that appears to involve writing LISP...

Sure thing. I've made the code available here:

It doesn't process very large images though, and I've never taken the

Years ago, before I had CFMX, I'd written a Perl script that would generate
thumbnails using the GD libraries as long as access to the perl script
was restricted via some kind of authentication or something, you could
actually just call the perl script via a hidden IFRAME, img tag or even
CFHTTP - and not have to rely on CFEXECUTE even, which never seemed to work
well for me!  You could probably do the same thing with a php script.

Great question,


I've been playing with image manipulation tools in CF for years now...
Building gallery applications is my thing.

If you are willing and able to buy and install a CFX tag I would recommend
ImageFlare or Image CR (Depending on the features you need). Both are made
by Efflare

http://www.efflare.com

  Nothing I've found works better.  It has a ton of features and produces
the highest quality jpgs of anything, and I've tied just about all of them
(ImageMagik, ImageCFC, Alagad's Image CFC and even one I can't mention due
to a current NDA). Nothing works better.

If speed is your primary qualifier, Efflare's ImageCR is hard to beat
If price is, Rick Root's imageCFC does a good job.

Re: Image manipulation

2007-03-01 Thread Charlie Griefer
one of the forum regulars over at Easycfm posted an overview of the
various image manipulation options.

http://www.lot-o-nothin.com/cfml/articles/index.cfm/id/3/

FWIW, i'll echo Alan's response.  I haven't used any of the others,
but i have used the efflare custom tag and not only does it work
beautifully, the customer service from efflare is amazing.

 If you are willing and able to buy and install a CFX tag I would recommend
 ImageFlare or Image CR (Depending on the features you need). Both are made
 by Efflare

 http://www.efflare.com

   Nothing I've found works better.  It has a ton of features and produces
 the highest quality jpgs of anything, and I've tied just about all of them
 (ImageMagik, ImageCFC, Alagad's Image CFC and even one I can't mention due

Re: Image manipulation

2007-03-01 Thread Josh Nathanson
Hold up though, do you mean that the person who uploads the image should 
have the ability to resize, rotate, crop etc. through some sort of flash or 
javascript GUI?  Or that you will control those aspects in the CF code?

I'm pretty sure ImageCFC doesn't do that, I don't know about the others.

Alan,

I'm going to be doing an image gallery type thing soon, and I thought 
I'd use ImageCFC. I'm not willing to purchase a prepackaged CFX, so I 
think ImageCFC is my best choice, but I'm still very curious (since you 
seem to have lots of experience) what pros and cons ImageCFC has versus 
ImageFlare. What didn't you like about it, what didn't it do, or what 
didn't it do well. I'd like to benefit from your experience. :o)

Thanks,
Chris

For me it's all about image quality.

Image Flare produces a much cleaner, sharper image. Any of the Image CFCs
use the base image class supplied by Java and it's algorithm for producing
jpgs, well... frankly it sucks. In my experience, I find that the Java based
tools leave a sharper image but often leaves a lot of artifacts and garbage
on the images.

I ran some samples in both today and you can see them on my site...

In all fairness to the Java apps... I do use them on my own site... I
have'nt wanted to spend the cash on image flare... I just use it at work.

Well it is just for my personal vanity site, so it is not worth a few hundred

If your host won't let you use createobject, you cant use any of the Java

And if they wont let you use Java, I doubt they'll let you install a CFX

Wow! Thanks for the visual comparison! I can see what you mean. So since 
ImageCFC uses the java base image class, I'll get results similar to the 
images on the far right-hand side of your example page (cute family, 
btw!)? Have I got that right?

As far as the ability to crop, rotate, zoom, err... whatever else it is 
you can do with an imaging API, are there any pros/cons between ImageCFC 
vs. Image Flare?

No, the columns are right... I dont know why, but yes. The Java images are
sharper today for some reason... not sure why,


The key problem I have is that the often seem over sharpened, to the point
that you get garbage in some places.


Look at the details in my daughter's hair in the second image or the pyramid
in the third for the Java ones. See how choppy it is and how the fine
details are all splattered for lack of a better word. Thats what I hate. A
lot of my images look like that.

That never happens with Flare, but they do look a bit soft in these
examples...  a little blurry in fact...

Re: Image manipulation

2007-03-01 Thread Alan Rother
As far as cropping, resizing, rotating and such, they have the same
features. Image flare is pretty darn easy to use, although it has it's own
language and syntax you have to get used to...

They both can also put text on the image, but ImageFlare BLOWS IT AWAY.

We use it at work in our CMS to generate high quality nav elements
dynamically and they look like they are right out of Photoshop.

Now, you will have to build your own tools for managing how people resize,
crop and rotate images. These tools are all backend and provide no front end
or GUI support whatsoever.

Nathan Strutz and I and toyed with the idea of just building our own image
processing server (entirely based on his C#.net code)

Just to process our family photos and what not.

The code he has written works REALLY well, pretty darn close to Photoshop
type stuff.

I see the over sharpness you're talking about Alan, and I see the 
blurriness of the Flare pics, but it's varies from image to image.

Alan Rother wrote:
 No, the columns are right... I dont know why, but yes. The Java images are

 The key problem I have is that the often seem over sharpened, to the point
 that you get garbage in some places.


 Look at the details in my daughter's hair in the second image or the pyramid
 in the third for the Java ones. See how choppy it is and how the fine
 details are all splattered for lack of a better word. Thats what I hate. A
 lot of my images look like that.

 That never happens with Flare, but they do look a bit soft in these
 examples...  a little blurry in fact...

 I would have said the third column, currently labeled Java was clearer

 But I will be the first to admit, I DO NOT have the graphic designer eye

I figured any onscreen tools to accomplish these tasks would have to be 
written, I was just thinking of allowing my user to upload a single 
image and the program would take care of creating the thumbnail from the 
larger upload. I'm guess that this is pretty standard for an image 
gallery type site with an admin type app that allows the user to update 
the images, right?

I get what I consider to be Acceptible results using ImageCFC for blogs,
personal sites, etc - particularly if you play with the settings, and apply
a slight blur after resizing.

But smooth background colors and gradients - like the blue sky on the images
I'm about to link to - are still a little grainy.

http://www.opensourcecf.com/imagecfc/example2.html

I don't think the results here are as bad as the ones published earlier for
imageCFC (I thought the efflare ones looked blurry but there were
definately artifacts in the imagecfc versions)

Is there a CF tag out there that will take a image and reduce it's size 
properly? Say someone uploads an image that is 100px High X 50px wide, and I 
only want images that are say 50px high. Is there something that will 
automatically make the image in question 50px high X 25px wide and keep the 
right proportions, as to not distort the image?

On any image manipulation tags I've seen, you have to calculate the
proper proportions in order to keep them.

Here's some example code when using BlueDragon's CFIMAGE tag:

!--- Get the image info using the CFIMAGE tag ---
CFIMAGE
action=info
srcfile=#variables.tmpServerDirectory#/#variables.PicName#.#variables.tmpServerFileExt#
!--- Set the desired width of the thumbnail to create ---
CFSET variables.NewImageSize = 110
!--- Find out what percentage the size that we want the image to be is
to the size that the image already is ---
CFSET variables.NewPercentage = Evaluate(variables.NewImageSize /
cfimage.width)
CFSET variables.NewPercentage = Round(variables.NewPercentage * 100)
!--- now create the thumbnail (in this case... just for GIF images) ---
CFIMAGE
SRCFILE=#variables.tmpServerDirectory#/#variables.PicName#.#variables.tmpServerFileExt#
DESTFILE=#variables.tmpServerDirectory#/#variables.PicName#_tn.#variables.tmpServerFileExt#
ACTION=edit
TYPE=gif
WIDTH=#variables.NewPercentage#%
HEIGHT=#variables.NewPercentage#%
URIDIRECTORY=NO


Hope this helps!

ImageCFC has a scaleX and scaleY property, so ify ou want to restrict

methods maintain aspect ratio and you don't have to do any calculations 
for the OTHER dimension.

I'm gonna add a scaleToFit() method too that takes a maximum width and

RE: Image manipulation

2006-11-10 Thread Bobby Hartsfield
ImageCR3 from Efflare.com

It's not free but well worth the cost and better than anything else out
there... free or not.

You do not need to calculate the proportions with imageCR, it will do it for
you.

There is a 'reisze' option that takes the format of 100x50 (width X height)

If you want the WIDTH to be a specific size (say 50px) and the height to
stay proportional you just use resize=50x

To set the height and let the width be calculated for you... x50

Pretty simple. Not to mention all of the other possibilities with the tag
and the quality of the resulting images.

I have a mod to the resize() method which adds a preserveAspect argument 
that probably does what the scaleToFit() will do.  If anyone wants that 
in the meantime, just send me an note.

I forgot, I think you told me about that.  I'll have to dig through my 
email and see if I can find it and maybe I'll just integrate that code.

Though I might still make a ghost method called scaleToFit() that just 
calls the resize() method.  (technically, scaleX() and scaleY() are just 
ghost methods to the resize() method as well, they just do the math and 
pass the width and height to the resize method anyway...)

Jave Image Manipulation Quality

2006-01-31 Thread Rick Root
I know there are some of you out there who have been unhappy with the 
quality of images produced by the available java manipulation libraries, 
although the Alagad image component seems to do a fine job.

I've been toying with various methods and pouring over java 
documentation the last 24 hours trying to get better image quality, and 
I think I've made some good progress.

If you have a discerning eye and you're one of the people unhappy with 
java's output quality for thumbnails and such, please take a look here:

http://www.webworksllc.com/imagecfc/

I think the third thumbnail looks pretty good if you load it into 
photoshop and blow it up 5x,

I took a screen shot of the three thumbnails at 500% and you can see the 
difference here:

RE: Jave Image Manipulation Quality

2006-01-31 Thread Andy Matthews
Rick...

I took a close look at the provided images and they get better in quality as
you scroll downwards, with the third one being the best quality. Places to
look include any area containing a sharp color transition. The area around
each of the turrets is a perfect example. This is generally where you're
going to get artifacts and imperfect pixelation.

In the largest image using explicit JPG compression the artifacting around
the turrets is almost invisible to the naked eye.

The truth though lies in the image size. Here's the file size for each of
them:

Original: 547,549

LARGE
Nearest: 107,395
Bicubic: 107,395
Explicit: 716,705

SMALL
Nearest: 5,580
Bicubic: 5,566
Explicit: 28,309

So while the final image looks better, it's because less image data is being
thrown away. The best test would be to get the quality of image generated by
the explicit code as close as possible to the other two then check for file
size.

 So while the final image looks better, it's because less image data is being
 thrown away. The best test would be to get the quality of image generated by
 the explicit code as close as possible to the other two then check for file
 size.

Yeah I noticed that too.  The optimum compression for the small images 
seems to be somewhere between 0.8 and 1.0 ... 0.8 creates a file about 
5.5k ..  0.9 creates a file about 9k, and 1.0 creates the 28k file.

The 9k image was definately better than the 5k image but still not as 
good as the 28k image.. obviously...

So I'll keep playing with it and probably the image cfc will end up 
having some kind of compression options.

Curiously, when I change the compression and re-run the script, the file 
size doesn't change unless I actually delete the file first.  It's like 
java is writing new data to the existing file but leaving the the file 
the same size, even if it doesn't require as much space.

I would be extremely interested to see how this stacks up against the GD
libraries that PHP and Perl use. So far, we've been forced to use a
combination of CFEXECUTE and command-line PHP in order to generate
thumbnails that are acceptable for high-end e-commerce sites. If you
came up with a BSD-licensed custom tag that you could pass on
compression parameters to, many many development companies would be very
much in your debt.

Hi guys.  First post!

I've been half-heartedly looking for a good image manip cfc for a while.
I've checked all the ones in this thread, and it seems that the only one
that will suit my needs is Alagad.

Here are a list of the functions I need:
- Thumbnail creation
- Watermarking (with png's for transparency)
- Extract color information

The last one is the kicker, only Alagad offers it from what I've read, with
the getColorFromPixel() function.  It returns java.awt.Color[r=xx, b=xx,
g=xx] which with a few Replace()'s can be turned into rgb code usable in
CSS rgb(xx,xx,xx)

I just wanted to double-check and ask if there are any free cfcs that offer
this before I drop $75 on it.  Thanks for the help guys, this thread has
been most informative. :)

 the final quality is at least as good, but my first concern is having the

I really have no idea how it compares. I would suggest to give it a try, run

CFC for Image Manipulation

2005-12-14 Thread Adrian Showater
Sorry, I know this thread is a few days old but...

I've done some image manipulateion with CFCs with mixed results.  I used the
Alagad Component and loved being able to do native calls in CF for image
manipulation, but I was dissapointed by the final file sizes of the images,
especially in the case of creating Thumbnails.  Using Image Magick, a
command line program that I gave a CFC interface to, I was able to get final
image sizes that were at least 1/2 the size of the Alagad images (generally
they were closer to 1/10th the size), and with much better quality (i.e., a
500kb image when resized to 50x50 px in Alagad is 20kb, in Image Magick the
same image is 2-3kb).  As such, I only use the Alagad component for
watermarking an image and use Image Magick for everything else.  The only
(big) drawback is that the server has to have Image Magick installed as
well, and I have run into some problems there.

Is anyone else familiar with Image Magick, and how does the final image
quality compare to Massimo's CFC?  I would consider using his component if
the final quality is at least as good, but my first concern is having the
best final product, not the means to get there.

 Speaking of...Massimo...do you have any intention of adding in a quality
 parameter to your CFC?

There are already many quality-related parameters than you can tweak to suit
your needs. By default the CFC is optimized for quality. Use the init()
method as pseudo-constructor to get an instance of the component with
different settings:

 I usually don't like to pay for stuff but Alagad was worth the money,
 I tried all of the free solutions and Alagad simply worked the best
 for image resizing and thumbnailing. Massimo's tag is also very good
 but the quality of the resize wasn't all that great when the original
 images were very (very) large. If you have decent sized images (800 x

Just curious, have you tried version 2.0 of tmt_img or an older version? I
know for sure quality was vastly improved starting with 2.0.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for that, excellent.  Yes, I'd very much like to see the code.

I'm in the feasibility stage on moving hosting, so I'm reluctant to pay out
on Alagad, this sounds like a good option.

All I need is thumbnail creation for jpg's (gif's would be a bonus) with
good quality.

Thanks again,

Jen,

I posted this one a while back. Works very nicely if you just use jpegs.

Re: CFC for Image Manipulation

2005-12-10 Thread Donnie Bachan
I usually don't like to pay for stuff but Alagad was worth the money,
I tried all of the free solutions and Alagad simply worked the best
for image resizing and thumbnailing. Massimo's tag is also very good
but the quality of the resize wasn't all that great when the original
images were very (very) large. If you have decent sized images (800 x
600) tmt_img might just do the trick.

Alagad Image component is the one I use. I think the thumbnailing is a bit
low quality... but still the best thing out there that I could find, and its
all CFC so no need to install anything else.

I just want to +1 Alagad. I know there are other solutions out there -
some free - but for 79 bucks, Alagad is simple as heck and works
-very- well for the projects I've used it with.
