Great work Rick! Rick Root wrote: ImageCFC 2.18 is now available. I tested it with Coldfusion MX 7 on Linux, Coldfusion 8 beta on Windows and Linux, and Bluedragon 7 on Linux. It works much better than 2.17 did.

RE: ImageCFC update
Question Rick... At least from within Photoshop, there's no such thing as a greyscale JPG. There's only JPGs that don't have color. I know it seems like the same thing, but it's really not. A JPG shouldn't care what colors are contained within it. How do you mean it doesn't know how to handle them? Is it throwing an error?

I figure I've got a bunch of apps that use image.cfc and i don't necessarily want to change the code in those apps ... should be quite easy to make image.cfc use cfimage on CF8 servers in order to get the better quality and presumably improved speed.. without any need to change the interface.

I could build a java class to do the work but I'm trying to avoid complicating things by requiring the use of jar files and such (even though yes, I know about the URL loaders and stuff) Of course, the gaussian and box blurs are the only place I've had this problem. The Alagad Image Component, which is 100% native CFML, just like ImageCFC, has a blur() method but I don't know if it does a simple blur, gaussian blur, box blur, or what.

Re: ImageCFC
the easy answer would be to do the upload to a folder and then run the imagecfc to get that image and resize it and put the new one into a different folder. You need to show some code but it sounds like you are uploading the image and have the cffile to overwrite but not the tag which of course wont work cause you are only uploading the image once so the overwrite wont kick in. try this but BE SURE to chance your folder name, dont be using your upload folder path as your path lol, i know Will would use that cffile Action=upload Filefield=photo DESTINATION=your upload folder path Nameconflict=makeunique accept=image/* cfset photo1 = #file.serverfile# cfset imageCFC = createObject(component,#request.cfcmapping#.image) cfset image640 = imageCFC.scaleX(, your upload folder path#photo1#, your upload folder path#photo1#, 640) I have seen a few other posts regarding imagecfc here recently so I hope this is not to off topic, the problem I am having with imagecfc is whenever I resize an image it doesn't change the filesize, this only occurs when I am overwriting the existing image. eg.

Are you sure the file size isn't changing? It could be that it's actually changing but somehow caching the old file information. How are you viewing the file size? Right clicking on the image and looking at properties through the browser?

Re: ImageCFC Help
Good discussion about this cfc I have a quicky question I found it working but when the file is too large ie 1 megabyte it craps out if it's less than 300K it works great specificially this is what I used cfset imageCFC = createObject(component,image) cfset results2 = imageCFC.scaleX(, #ExpandPath(.)#/aaa.jpg, #ExpandPath(.)#/temp.jpg, 300) get the file aaa.jpg and make the width 300 K an save it as temp.jpg I went into the CF admin and increated the Timeout Requests after ( seconds ) to 6 seconds but this did not help My limited knowlege of CFC I think is hindering me here any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:249802 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I use this with photos over 1mb everyday with no problems, I dont hink your experience with cfc's is the answer since you dont actually touch the cfc.

You do not need any special install, that is the great thing about imageCFC or Alagad image component (which isn't free but is quite good). Lastly, com.image is just the file location of imageCFC from the root of my site (/com/image.cfc). You can change this to whatever directory you have imageCFC in. - Brian Rinaldi blog - http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog CF Open Source List - http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist Boston CFUG - http://www.bostoncfug.org On 7/1/06, B V [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, this really clears thigns up, however I just have two questions: 1).

Re: ImageCFC Help
1) It depends on your system. If you have a grahics card all should be well. If you are on a headless Linux system, some work may be required but you should be getting an error if this were the issue. 2) You can use the createObject() call. If image.cfc is in the same folder as your file or in the web root (or in the root of the / mapping) CF will find it if you use createObject(component,image). If you are going to use a com directory, the CFC must be either in the /com folder off the webroot or it must be in a folder mapped to /com. Eitehr way, You;d get an error if it were not working. Hence my question; what is or is not happeneing to make you say there is an error? Do you just not get an output image?

Re: ImageCFC Help
'com.image' implies that the image.cfc component is in a directory named 'com'. To do the simplest test, put the image.cfc in the same directory as the .cfm file you are using. Then to invoke the object: cfset imageCFC = createObject(component,image) / If you have image.cfc in a directory called 'CFC' that is in the same directory as your .cfm file, then do... cfset imageCFC = createObject(component,cfc.image) / If you want to put components in another directory, you can add a mapping in the CF Administrator.

Re: ImageCFC component Available
I have a font product to build a site for, and I was delighted to see that this image.cfc does allow putting text on an image with a true type font Our problem was how to give people a sample of the font, without letting them get their hands on the font itself.This offers a way to do it on the fly. We'll have a graphic of some kind, and overlay the user-supplied text using the font in question, so they can see what it looks like, without having it so it's easy to snag, which would be the case if we used something like PDF or Flashpaper to produce it. And image.cfc is so easy-as-pie to use for someone practiced at using CFCs. Well done, RIck. When I recover my cost on the font product and sell my second hundred grand's worth of it, i'll drop you a fat cheque.

I dont take canadian $$ cause it cost me money but hey they got good health care ;)~ jk jk anyways, I got it all working rick, good job! my one problem though was this, maybe I was being tired or not, I was using it to do a simple resize and what i thought I'd do is do the upload, grab the name and put it in as the origianl image them resize it and name it the samething as the original. However that threw errors and would only work if the renamed file was resized.jpg, which isnt a big deal but it adds more photos to the folder than you need. So what I ended up doing was uploading, resizing then doing another cffile to rename resized.jpg to a unique name. So was that just me or does it have to be named that? ~Dave the disruptor~ I forgot what I was gunna put here, Will woulda stole it anyways!

I was supposed to buy that today and just curious, i'm def gunna give yours a shot first though. ~Dave the disruptor~ I forgot what I was gunna put here, Will woulda stole it anyways! From: Rick Root [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 2:39 PM To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: ImageCFC component Available Hi all, http://www.opensourcecf.com/imagecfc I've got my new image.cfc component ready for public consumption. I'm calling it 2.00 beta 1 right now. 2.00 because it's based on Jim Dew's original work. Beta because it's not thoroughly tested. It *HAS* been tested on CFMX 7 (Windows and Linux) and Bluedragon 6.2 JX (Linux). Should also work on CFMX 6.1. The most important feature is that it supports specifying JPEG compression, allowing you to increase your output quality as long as you're willing to accept he increase in file size. The CFC includes the following methods: getImageInfo(), rotate(), scaleX() scaleY(), resize(), flipHorizontal(), flipVertical(), crop(), and convert() It will read JPG, PNG, and GIF images from local files or from URLS. It will write JPG and PNG files. Any valid readable format can be converted to a valid writeable format. All functions can take a file, URL, or BufferedImage object as input. All functions can output a file OR return a BufferedImage object. all functions optionally accept a JPEG compression argument, a number between 0 and 100. The default is 90.

I honestly haven't even demo'ed Alagad because I was happy, for the most part, with the free options available =) At least, happy enough to know that I didn't want to pay for something. I do know that Alagad does a LOT more stuff, but if all you need is image resizing, cropping, rotating, flipping and flopping... image.cfc should do the trick.
