In reply to my own post. I'm afraid that it appears that there's no quick fix from the IE end of things. The IE blog team have confirmed that it is a problem with IE8 misinterpreting a particular type of JPEG formatting. But they haven't said if they are going to fix it or even if they consider it a proper bug. So the only way to keep your clients happy is to revise your image handling code, then re-generate/convert all the images you already have.
As most of my sites are running on CF6.1 or 7 my solution was to switch to using imageCFC [http://imagecfc.riaforge.org/]. And in one case for a much older application that still runs on CF5 I moved to using Jukka Manna's cfx_image instead (It's on Adobe exchange). For the batch conversion I used Multiple Image Resizer .NET as it seemed to deliver decent cross conversions and was reasonably fast. I had one client with over 78,000 images (around 3Gb) and all created with cfxImage. It took about 6 hours... A lot of that time was waiting for windows to move the files around to a temp area first. I did it via the command line as it's really rather hard to work with that many files in windows explorer.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
