Thanks Teddy!
I can use ImageDrawText() to write text on top of the image, but I want to make the text look engraved. ImageDrawText can’t do that as far as I can tell. The text has to distort the underlying image to make this look right. You can do things like this in Photoshop, and I was hoping there would be a way to do it inside of ColdFusion.

I have images of the item without engraving, but I want to simulate an engraved look with the user's actual personal information. So, each image will be dynamically generated from information on a form or in the database. Can you do this with <cfimage>? Or, do any of you know of a better way to make this work like some Java library? Thanks for any ideas!
