"Within 30 seconds they were all "noticed" by the event gateway, watermarked, and copied over. Like magic. :)"
See how cool magic is? Heh Thanks Ray; good stuff. I'll definitely be playing around with this (and trying to talk the guys hosting my site into letting me set it up on the server) I've got the first part done already. Last night I wrote a template that loops over a directory called /process/. If it finds any images in there it will loop over them and: 1) load the image into an image object 2) write it to /unwatermarked/ as smaller file size 3) load the watermark.png into an image object 3) imagepaste the watermark to the image object and save it to /watermarked/ 4) move the actual file to /original/ Then the header images are retrieved from /watermarked/ as in the example from before. So I have a watermarked image, the same image minus the watermark and I have the original if I ever want to run them back through for a new watermark or something. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 8:09 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: imageRead plus imagepaste plus imageGetBlob issue http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/6/4/Automating-watermarking-of- images-with-ColdFusion On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 6:40 AM, Raymond Camden <[email protected]> wrote: > Code is written - just ran into some other stuff yesterday which > prevented me from blogging it.
