And write out to various formats. By installing the image_io extension you will get more formats available. You stack up the operations, and they will be applied in stack order, and each operation can parameterized in the request, as I do in the samples; > src="image.png/resize-250-50/greyscale-jpg" > P.S.: If so, I really hope this will be in 2.2 .. whenever this will be > released ;) Well, noone else have showed any interest to take it and put it into the codebase, so I don't know anything about that. > P.P.S: I will probably also test it with my 2.1.6 ... any ideas why this > shouldn't work? We are using it for a couple of sites, and running on 2.1.6. Only thing is that you need JDK1.4, so it won't cut it for inclusion in 2.1.x series. Feel free to use it. You should know that we have encountered a series of bugs when reading TIFF files, which doesn't work, and the Java2D-interests mailing list has probably the worst support I have ever encountered. Noone at Sun have lifted an eyebrow, other than acknowledge that my supplied simplified testcase should work. So that is one thing to look out for. Cheers Niclas
