So, I gotta FORCE correct sizes and/or resize the images when they upload them. The client is just too dumb to get it right on their own. The site is running CFMX on a shared Linux server - so I can't add anything or set paths through the CF Admin or anything like that - and many of the

Lessons Learned Les, The Client is not dumb, sorry but you attempted to cut corners in your application and expected all would go well in the end. Who re-sizes images manually now days? You can use CFX_OPENIMAGE to take care of these types of problems in the future.
