I'd stick to cfx_image then, it works well, can read and convert many, many formats. It's fast enough as well, as long as you don't run it on the front end of your site.
However, don't be scared of java, I'm still learning it myself but I can already do some nice things that really augment my cf code well, extra speed is always nice after all.

I'm a complete java novice. I've changed java applet parameters before, but that's as much java or javascript as I've used! I've never compiled anything, either! So I wouldn't know what to do with that! All I use are jpg's, so that would work for me, but a client uploading a file to the site could use any format, so I guess it would have to be more flexible, unless I made jpg's a requirement for clients. But then, some of them might have another format and wouldn't know how to convert it!

It's very fast though. I'll gladly post the code on here should you want it. I think if you're going to use java tags in cf you should at least learn how to compile it yourself, you may understand how the tag works better that way. So I wont be sending anyone the actual cfx.

The cfx_pwimageproc tag looks very interesting. I've reviewed it's description on your site. So the tag, when resizing an image, actually creates a separate file, "outfile", when executed, right? And the smaller, thumbnail, is actually a new, smaller size (disk space size) than the original. If so, then this would be a good solution for creating thumbnail images of larger images, also. I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to create thumbnails on the fly for things like employee directories and church directories which users can upload images into themselves. I'd like to setup the site so that the users, who might not know how to use a graphics program to resize photos, could just upload a single photo, and let the site create thumbnails as needed. Am I understanding the tag correctly?

Are you having the problem with 16 or 24 bit colour images? If you're using Jukka Manner's original version, it was designed for GIFs and uses an internal 256 bit palette, which is why JPEGs don't look so good. Here's a plug... We wrote an alternative for use on our own projects - cfx_pwimageproc - and we also sell it for US $99 at http://developer.perthweb.com.au. There's a demo you can try to see if the quality suits your purpose. HTH, Kay.
