Here's a super fast blur: http://www.opensourcecf.com/imagecfc/thumbnail_test/blur.cfm?amount=2&iterations=1 Of course, the java convolveop doesn't really deal with edges very well.. so the outside #amount# pixels of the image are not blurred... it's not really noticeable for small amounts, like 2, and you can simulate larger blur amounts by just doing it multiple times.. though at a certain point it looks like it starts to noticable distort the edges. http://www.opensourcecf.com/imagecfc/thumbnail_test/blur.cfm?amount=2&iterations=25 Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
