My bad Matt. I wasn't referring to your article in my post...should have clarified my statement.
I was actually commenting on the Jimg custom tag / component wrapper for JAI from DRK 4 that Massimo mentioned. The thumbnails from that just aren't good at all. Maybe with some tweaks JAI can produce a decent thumbnail. But from what I've seen so far, nothing can come close to ImageCR from Efflare. chris >-----Original Message----- >From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 11:37 AM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: CFC for thumbnail creation > >I think you are judging JAI improperly based on the article I wrote. >Image manipulation is tricky to do in a way that works best for all >types of images in all situations.
