So you'll need to look closely at the distortion that photoshop is doing
to re-create the effect. It be take several steps like an inner bevel
then a shadow, etc. But this should be possible.

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.

Clarke,
Yes, you can do this with cfimage. cfimage uses a Java library, so
you are already using one. ;-)
The method that I have seen is using imageDrawText() function:

I have a shopping application where I would like to show the user an image
of a personalized, engraved item.
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!
