Re: Image manipulation code: unit testing approach

[Alan Rother]

You should have a set of baseline images that you know the source of. Things
you made in Photoshop using your digital camera, that you can validate the
color space and dimensions of.

I would also collect random images from around the web from various sources
such as a Google Image search, Flickr, Picasa and such. This will give you
the random element that tends to come in from user generated content...

The more random the better, in fact using a random URL generator and
grabbing the first image would be a good idea.

Here are some common things I've seen that CAN break image processing:

   - Wrong color space: ie CMYK
   - Bad formatting in the image exif data
   - embedded color profiles

Re: Image manipulation code: unit testing approach

Hi Dominic,

I think when it comes to image files you will want to have some local
test files, because you can potentially run into issues with the way
different image editors save files. If you generate all your test
image files through your test code, then your test environment may not
represent real world scenario (unless you generate all the images used
in your system).

Hi, Ryan...

No my production server is a VPS with Win 2003 Server and CF 8.

In my previous post, I'm referring to my dev setup.

Out of curiosity: you were running production cf on xp and now you are
trying to do the same on win 7?

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.

Re: Image manipulation

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

http://www.viviotech.net/tags/create_thumb.php.txt

I wrote it to be called from the command-line using CFEXECUTE.

It doesn't process very large images though, and I've never taken the
time to debug that unfortunately.

Use this code as you see fit. ;)

Re: Image manipulation

[Rick Root]

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)

Re: Image manipulation

On Linux boxes where image quality is important, I use command-line PHP
to access GD libraries and resize images. It's the best image quality
I've ever seen from a dynamic web application.

Re: Image manipulation

[Christopher Jordan]

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?

Re: Image manipulation

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.

Re: Image manipulation

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.

Re: Image manipulation

[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.

Look at the details in my daughter's hair in the second image or the pyramid in

all splattered for lack of a better word. That's what I hate. A lot of my

I'll take your word for it; that is exactly the thing I do NOT have the eye

Re: Image manipulation

[Christopher Jordan]

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?

But I can see where many cases where the first is 'good enough' and for the 
price is hard to beat when it is.

Ian,

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
tag.

Yes he just did, probably about the same time I sent my follow up answer.

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

I just wanted to make sure it was impossible before I gave up.

Re: Image manipulation

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...

http://www.RotherFamily.net/compare/

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.

The scnerio will be like the visitor will upload the image and then he/she

I don't mind buying any commercial CFX, but like to know someone's

Re: Image manipulation

[Christopher Jordan]

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

Re: Image manipulation

[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.

If your host has ASPImage COM object, I would also suggest it for 
quality. :)

Here is a page that I created 4 years ago which "still" works with CF & 
ASPImage.

For NDA note: I am sure it will be better! :)

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 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

[Alan Rother]

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.

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...)

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.

RE: Image manipulation

[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.

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?

ImageCFC has a scaleX and scaleY property, so ify ou want to restrict 
your image to 50px high, you'd just use the scaleY() method.  Both 
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 
height and forces your image to fit within that space but still maintain

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:

Yep...sorry about thatI'm so busy right now and was trying to be helpful 
at the same timeso out came the brain dump of what I could recall at the 
time (now I see what I said could have been misconstrued) ;-)

I would take it pretty seriously as well if someone else took credit for my 
work...so again...sorry for the confusionjust trying to help Andy.

For the record CF-TalkersMassimo and I created our code 
independantlyand even though I haven't played with his tag...I'm quite 
sure it's more robust than mine from what I've read (mine is for simple 
image size retrieval and simple resizing of GIF/JPG files).

FYI folksI gave Tony Weeg permission to wrap my 2 methods up in a CFC 
and make it available to dload somewhere (Tony can ya post the link if it's 
up)...for free (and of course leaving my code comments in placewouldn't 
want another issue like this one...hehe).

Personally I'm not in the tag or CFC writing/selling game (not saying 
Massimo is or isn't nor does it matter to me in any way)no time for such 
small returns...but if I have code that will help someonea posting I go 
;-)

hehe...no worries Massimonot a credit/plagiarism issueand yer tag is 
far more complete then mine (and I wrote mine in 2003 as well FYI...although 
I think it was later in the year)!! ;-)  I was just saying that to help 
Andybecause I was pretty sure the APIs used were the same and that 
should have meant the error was for the same reason (headless system).

All bow before Massimo and his tag...hehe!!!

It's sounds like a problem with the an neadless systems. On the CFC's page
there are links pointing to potential fixes:

Once again Bryan, even if it uses the same Java APIs, it's NOT the same
code, I published the first version of my CFC back in January 2003, long
before you.
You can take a look at the source and see by yourself (and you will also see
why the image quality is better).

Another update. Massimo responded to my email and he provided two sites
which list solutions to this problem:

Just an update...

I seem to recall reading that these CFCs have issues when the server is set
to run headless. I checked our cfadmin and it appears that headless is one
of the arguments (listed below):

-server -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSi
ze=128m -XX:+UseParallelGC

Is there anything that can be done?

Massimo...

I have a quick question regarding the above CFC. I've set it up and running
on my local dev machine (Win XP, CFMX6.1). It works flawlessly. However,
when I upload the code to my server and run it, I get the following error:

This graphics environment can be used only in the software emulation mode.
null
The error occurred on line 475.

This is line 475 in the cfc file:
var jGraphics2D = arguments.imgBuffer.createGraphics();

I know ZERO Java so I can't diagnose this properly but I would guess that
it's got something to do with the version of Java or JVM running on our
server (some form of Linux and CFMX6.1).

Anyone have ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Image manipulation in coldfusion - error with tmt_img.cfc

[Bryan Stevenson]

Well it looks like ya tracked it down before my reply made it through ;-)

Here's what my jvm.config java args look like on the headless machine:

java.args=-server -DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS 
-Xbootclasspath/a:{application.home}/lib/webchartsJava2D.jar 
 -Xmx512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false 
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m 
 -XX:+UseParallelGC

A side noteI COULD NOT change the settings via CF Admin as there was 
some bug that blew out the jvm.config file (or appeared to have made the 
change but didn't)...so I had to manually change the jvm.config file etc. as 
per my first reply.

Re: Image manipulation in coldfusion - error with tmt_img.cfc

[Bryan Stevenson]

Andy...is the live server a headless system (no monitor or graphicsjust 
a  box)?  If so there are some arguments in the jvm.config (I think it was 
that file) file that you need to change.

If you can confirm this is your situation I may be able to dig up the 
changes required.  The file needs to be dloaded, modified, uloaded, and CF 
services cycled for this to fly.  This may be difficult in a shared server 
environment.

I'd also wait on Massimo to be sure it's the same issue...but the error 
looks the same as what I had dropping my image manip code (same core code as 
Massimo uses AFAIKthink I may have given it to him too..can't recall) on 
a headless Linux server.

Re: image manipulation in coldfusion?

[Webmaster at FastTrack On Line]

I'm catching up on this thread, but ...

I do think CF should have image manipulation.  I'm not about to go and learn 
Java or anything vaguely "codey" if i can possibly help it, not enough hours 
in the day and I bought CF for the very reason I would never have to learn 
Java!  Programming at that level just isn't for me, I find it tedious.

I have used  http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php as a work around 
and it works just fine, and it's free :-)

Even if I already solved the problem on my own. I too wish MM would include
image manipulation functionality on a future release. It just makes a lot of

Thanks Roger. I am aware of this but I am still not sure on what's the best
way to handle it.
Until now I tried to leave out any form of "logic" from the CFC; in my
vision it only has to perform the basic operations, then it's up to the
developer to wrap any logic around it (see the post about conditional
cropping).

The CFC could check if the crop area exceed image's dimensions and adjust
the cropping area. I still have mixed feelings about this... It will surely
make the CFC more "monkey proof", but I don't want a component that try to
"outsmart" its user. Personally I would again, extend the CFC and add a
"saveCrop" method that just wrap the logic around the base method.

Feedback and opinions on this would be very much appreciated.

My CFC offers all the basic functionality you need for this, but you have to
perform the logic (if exceeds crop, if not let it alone) on your own. In my
opinion the best thing to do would be to extend the CFC and put your logic
there. This would allow you to first, separate the logic from the core
functionality, then it will make easier to update as soon as I will release
an updated version of the CFC since you would not change my code directly.

Can you equate that to the inclusion of web services in CFMX? You know
they use the apache axis engine. Talk about getting the menu from the
neighbors and tacking it onto your bill, what about Verity? Is that
really a necessity for CF to function.

No, but it sells.

I see the features argument a little differently than you. Let's talk
about the CF platform and its parent, Java, versus the Java platform
and its parent, whatever it was written in, c or assembly or what have
you, i don't know.

CF is compiled through its parent to run on the JRE.
Java is compiled through its parent to run on different OSes.

CF has a loose collection of organized tags and functions, pre-written
code that saves you time by shortcutting and tying together
capabilities of its parent.
Java has the java library, an organized collection of useful objects
that save you time by shortcutting and tying together capabilities of
its parent.

CF exposes its parent by wrapping it in easy-to-use tags & functions.
Java exposes its parent by wrapping it in easy-to-use objects.

Without CF, you would have to write straight Java to get the job done.
Without Java, you would have to write straight assembly or c++ to get
the job done.

CF allows developers to get around the complexities of collections
(java.util.map, java.util.vector) by providing its own (struct,
array).
Java allows developers to get around the complexities of shifting bits
and complex manipulations by providing built-in collection objects.

Let's pretend CF has tags and functions for 50% of everything java
provides, just in the base library. Why would CF provide us with
simplifying collections, manipulating strings, regular expressions, IO
and networking operations, mathematics, database connectivity and XML,
but not provide us with just one more feature, simple image
manipulation?

Just a question to think about. Java already has the functionality
there. It's built into the underlying platform. MM doesn't even have
to shift bits and manually manage memory consumption, it's in Java.
The fact that it hasn't been brought into the CF platform bewilders
me. Maybe they're waiting for a release that they don't have enough
cool, new features in.

I'm trying to learn constantly. Learning CF, javascript, Flash, mySQL , etc.
The problem is that it's hard to convince the owner of my company to spring
for Alagad's image component.

So it's not the learning that's the problem. It's the billing of the time
that's the problem.

Ummmit's called part of the jobif you already knew it all you'd be
the perfect developerIMHO if you stop learning you are dead wood (not
directed at you Andyjust a  general statement).

FYI...Googling was exactly how I learned what I needed...and it only took
about an hour to solve the problem ;-)

Lazy? That's not being lazy. That's using your time to it's fullest
potential. I can't really bill the time needed to learn Java or search
Google for ways that I can resize images in ColdFusion.

As for people who say you don't have to know Java, yes I understand. I've
already mentioned I'm using the tmt_img CFC. I'm perfectly happy with it, it
does what I need. I still think it would be great if MM would include this
functionality in Coldfusion. That's all there is to say about it.

I believe it goes more like "We don't serve French fries here, but here is a
menu for the place next door, pick what you what, and we'll go and get it
for you.  We'll even put it on the same bill... you'll never know that it
was from next door unless we told you."

Now what you are asking is for them to put it on their own menu, but still
get it from next door without telling you.  I mean, yea, it would be nice,
since you wouldn't have to look at the menu from the place next door, but I

but you don't have to know java.  There are numerous CFC implementations
written by people who DO know java.

I use a CFC written by Jim Dew.

Here's how I resize images:


imagePath = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\foo.jpg";
newWidth = 50;
newHeight = 50;
image = CreateObject("component","image");
image.readImage("FILE", imagePath)
image.resize(newWidth, newHeight);
image.writeImage(variables.imagePath);

Re: Image manipulation - Why Macromedia?!

There are many things that we'd like to see in CF...but with a little effort 
you can write your own.

I mean heywouldn't it be nice if CF came with payment gateway tags?? ;-)

This is the power of CFif it don't come built in...you can build it 
yourself with relative ease.

I might add I wrote both my posted image methods without knowing ANY 
Javajust found some Java code...read it...tried my best to understand it 
(not too hard to read any langauge and get the general idea of what it 
does)converted it to CF code...not hard at all.

I agree, that's a fair question.  CF's whole purpose is "RAD" and inclusion
of things that make development far easier.  CFGRID is one of those things,
CFGRAPH is one, there could easily be CFIMAGE.  All MM/Adobe needs to do is
buy something like the ImageCR product and integrate it.  I imagine it would
be a great reason in favor up upgrading to the next version.

It is available in your own language.  ColdFusion is really java, and there
has been code posted in java to do image manipulation.  Anything that could
be done in java could be done in ColdFusion.  If you need something that
performs better, then you go pay for it.  ColdFusion can't possibly include
everything.

Okay...

This is related to my original post about image manipulation, but is NOT
asking about a specific program.

My question is that since SO MANY people look for image manipulation in
their programming language, why don't more developers add this feature into
their language. Even PHP doesn't have this stuff natively (that I know of)
but does allow you to add it in via extra libraries.

So consider this an open letter to Macromedia/Adobe. Why isn't something
which is so desired by so many people added into your language? I could go
and pay $75 for an excellent codebase (Alagad's Image Component) but doesn't
it make sense to include this into the language itself? I just don't
understand it.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Re: Image manipulation - Why Macromedia?!

[Rick Root]

I tend to agree with other responses.  Image manipulation is available
in the underlying java, and it's not that difficult to implement.  There
are several cfcs out there - some are free - that do image manipulation.

I do admit that it'd be nice to see them implement CFIMAGE like
Bluedragon has done, but it doesn't bother me that much because there
are plenty of cheap and/or free alternatives that aren't difficult to
implement.

Alternatively, generating PDFs and doing reporting from within CF was
always possible before, but only by using costly products or methods
that were extremely difficult to implement (I had integrated
JasperReports with CFMX 6.1.  JasperReports is the open source java
reporting solution that the CFMX7 solution is built on)

BlueDragon Server includes a CFIMAGE tag which does basic image
manipulation.

RE: Image manipulation - Why Macromedia?!

[Matthew Small]

I agree, that's a fair question.  CF's whole purpose is "RAD" and inclusion
of things that make development far easier.  CFGRID is one of those things,
CFGRAPH is one, there could easily be CFIMAGE.  All MM/Adobe needs to do is
buy something like the ImageCR product and integrate it.  I imagine it would
be a great reason in favor up upgrading to the next version.

Okay...

This is related to my original post about image manipulation, but is NOT
asking about a specific program.

My question is that since SO MANY people look for image manipulation in
their programming language, why don't more developers add this feature into
their language. Even PHP doesn't have this stuff natively (that I know of)
but does allow you to add it in via extra libraries.

So consider this an open letter to Macromedia/Adobe. Why isn't something
which is so desired by so many people added into your language? I could go
and pay $75 for an excellent codebase (Alagad's Image Component) but doesn't
it make sense to include this into the language itself? I just don't
understand it.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Re: Image manipulation - Why Macromedia?!

[Mark Drew]

It cant include everything but it does pretty much everything now!

Also considering that Macromedia will become part of Adobe why not a real
good set of image manipulation tags (Photoshop image scaling alogarithm
anyone?)

I agree with Andy here, ok.. we cant do the most "esoteric" things but we
can do uploads natively, move files, list directories, ftp things, create
reports and what not, why not a few image manip tags?

it's a great piece of code though. Thank you Massimo.

Massimo's tag has getHeight and getWidth methods. Call those on an image,
then check accordingly.

Thanks guys - I've been following this with interest as I have a
particular resizing challenge at the moment.

What I'm looking for is a way to test the size of an image before its
displayed and then resize it if its width exceeds 250px - if 250px or
less then it can be left alone.

Not sure if tags like Massimo's support that or not.

Any suggestions please.

Massimo: Just to let you know... I was playing around with your CFC, and
noticed that on some images (usually horizontally oriented ones),
bufferedCrop() would throw an "outside of raster" error. I was able to
fix it by modifying the code to check for crop operations that exceed
the height of the image.

With that said, thanks for putting the code out there.

RE: image manipulation in coldfusion?

[Martin Parry]

ImageCR3 does that impeccably. When specifying dimensions for the resize
you put >250x>100  and it will resize the width down to 250 if greater
and/or the height down to 100 is greater than 100 with prefect quality
results.

Sorry Bryan ;)

I've checked out your code.  It's great.  We just use ImageCR for the broad
filetype support.

Once againmy code is Java based and FREE (not as sophisticated as 
imageCR3but original poster doesn't need the fancy stuff)

OK...I'm done talking to myself ;-)

RE: image manipulation in coldfusion?

[Burns, John D]

Bryan, 

How is the quality on the resizes for that? I've used some java stuff
like that before and had issues with the quality. Things seemed to come
out a little distorted. From what I can see in the component, it doesn't
seem like there's any kind of argument for the quality. Let me know if
you've had similar experiences. For some of the people I've tried doing
this for, they're artists and bands and people who are a little more
particular about the resize quality so I really need it to be top notch.
Let me know.

You can use Java for image manipulation and achieve good quality results.
You just have to dig the APIs a little more. That's what I tried to do when
I wrote version 2.0 of my CFC and I achieved a huge increase in quality.

You can get it from here and give it a try (it's free):
