Dynamic image resizing etc.
I've implemented a CFC that uses ImageJ Java classes to resize, rotate, add text, etc. to images.For the most part, I'm fairly happy, but the images seem to come out a little bit distorted and not quite as clean as I'd like. Does anyone know of a better set of classes (preferably with a CFC wrapper) that can accomplish these same functions with a better quality outcome?Any information would be extremely helpful!

RE: Dynamic image resizing etc.
Perhaps if ImageJ had a bicubic resizing option, it would be fine. But since not, I have had luck doing a few different things. 1. Blur your image before resizing. The thumbnailed image comes out about 97% as good as a bicubic resizing option, good enough for most. Typically if the image is larger than 5x your thumbnail, you may need to blur it twice before resizing. 2. Use imagemagick. It's a good program and works really well. This is what I ended up doing. -nathan strutz -Original Message- From: John Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 10:12 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Dynamic image resizing etc. I've implemented a CFC that uses ImageJ Java classes to resize, rotate, add text, etc. to images.For the most part, I'm fairly happy, but the images seem to come out a little bit distorted and not quite as clean as I'd like.

RE: Dynamic image resizing etc.
I'll second the ImageMagick option.It's the solution I settled on quite some time ago and has worked very well for me for a long time. -Novak -Original Message- From: Nathan Strutz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 11:45 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Dynamic image resizing etc. Perhaps if ImageJ had a bicubic resizing option, it would be fine.

RE: Dynamic image resizing etc.
Do you have any information on imagemagick?Are there any CFC wrappers for it?

RE: Dynamic image resizing etc.
There is a CFC or UDF or something on the Macromedia Exchange. Personally I've always just built my string in a variable and then run ImageMagick via CFEXECUTE. -Novak -Original Message- From: John Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 11:48 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Dynamic image resizing etc. Do you have any information on imagemagick?Are there any CFC wrappers for it?

RE: Dynamic image resizing etc.
Ditto on that. There's an imagemagick tagset out there, but it always caused more problems than it solved and created way more overhead that it seemed I would ever need. -nathan strutz -Original Message- From: cf-talk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 1:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Dynamic image resizing etc. There is a CFC or UDF or something on the Macromedia Exchange.
