image manipulation in coldfusion?

So I'm wondering what some of you use to manipulate images in CF. I've been wanting something like this for a while but it's always gotten put off. At the very least I need to be able to resize images and get their height and width. More than that would be nice, but not necessary. Can anyone offer any suggestions? <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc. andy@icglink.com 615.370.1530 x737 --------------//--------->

not free, but i'd highly recommend the alagad image component. http://www.alagad.com/ ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

search the archives for my name or e-mail and "ThumbIt" or mabye "image manipulation".  I've posted my CFC methods that use Java to resize images and get image pixel height/width about 5-10 times now....does not work with TIFFs I don't have the code handy right now or I'd post it yet again ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

More than that would be nice, but not necessary. I use built in java stuff to do this with jpegs .. take a look at the image.cfc file included in the CFFM distributino (www.webworksllc.com/cffm) rick

I'd check out the Alagad Image Component at www.alagad.com - it's native CF.  While it's not free, it's so cheap that you'll make back the dough the first time you use it in terms of time saved. -Joe ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I'll ditto Alagad. It's only like 75 bucks and well worth the price. Yes, there are free alternatives, but this one is so easy and simple to use, I'd still recommend it. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

ImageCR3:   http://efflare.com/products/cfx_imagecr/ Personal licenses for $75:   http://efflare.com/purchase/?personal We never gave it away for free, but we have plenty of happy customers.

now i'm torn. I've used ImageCR3 in the past and yes, it's a great product with absolutely fantastic (FANTASTIC) support. But what I like about Alagad is the fact that it's a straight CFC.  No custom tags to install (which may not be a big issue unless you're in a shared environment and the host likes to charge for custom tag installations).

That is the question :) if your host is happy to install it then its not a problem , if he is or you are on Linux then you will probably better off using one of the free alternatives such as Bryan's (some one was listening ;-)) or the Alagad image component which I've also heard great things about.

I use Massimo's tmt_img 2.0 (http://www.olimpo.ch/tmt/cfc/tmt_img/) and it's great if what you need to do is crp/resize images.  It's all CFC so no custom tags, nothing to configure.  Oh, and it's free. I extended it to add a "max size" that resizes so that no dimension is greater than the passed in value, which makes it even more invaluable for me. Pete

Bryan... The HoF site is down.

Sorry Bryan ;) I've checked out your code.  It's great.  We just use ImageCR for the broad filetype support. -e > We use imageCR3 and love it.  I only wish it was java based so we could > use > it on linux. > > -e Once again....my code is Java based and FREE (not as sophisticated as imageCR3....but original poster doesn't need the fancy stuff) OK...I'm done talking to myself ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Yes, yes, yes - use ImageCR3 if you have the chance.  I was going to recommend it myself.  I'm sure I haven't seen them all, but ImageCR3 looks FAR better than any other resizing tag out there.  I don't know how they do it, but they do it well.

If there a difference in quality or control in the personal version vs. the full version? Or just the license? I'm only looking at using this for a personal site right now but may expand it later.

The personal/non-commercial "version" differs only by license. You get the same download and binary as commercial customers. You can upgrade to a commercial license for the difference in cost between these license types. The same upgrade policy applies for upgrades to future versions of ImageCR, eg. ImageCR4. -- CrystalM ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

> How is the quality on the resizes for that? I've used some java stuff > like that before and had issues with the quality. You can use Java for image manipulation and achieve good quality results. You just have to dig the APIs a little more. That's what I tried to do when I wrote version 2.0 of my CFC and I achieved a huge increase in quality.

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- Thanks Roger. I am aware of this but I am still not sure on what's the best way to handle it. Until now I tried to leave out any form of "logic" from the CFC; in my vision it only has to perform the basic operations, then it's up to the developer to wrap any logic around it (see the post about conditional cropping). The CFC could check if the crop area exceed image's dimensions and adjust the cropping area. I still have mixed feelings about this... It will surely make the CFC more "monkey proof", but I don't want a component that try to "outsmart" its user. Personally I would again, extend the CFC and add a "saveCrop" method that just wrap the logic around the base method. Feedback and opinions on this would be very much appreciated. ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Tools for ColdFusion and Dreamweaver developers: http://www.massimocorner.com ----------------------------

Thanks guys - I've been following this with interest as I have a particular resizing challenge at the moment. What I'm looking for is a way to test the size of an image before its displayed and then resize it if its width exceeds 250px - if 250px or less then it can be left alone. Not sure if tags like Massimo's support that or not.

I'm catching up on this thread, but ... I do think CF should have image manipulation.  I'm not about to go and learn Java or anything vaguely "codey" if i can possibly help it, not enough hours in the day and I bought CF for the very reason I would never have to learn Java!  Programming at that level just isn't for me, I find it tedious. I have used  http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php as a work around and it works just fine, and it's free :-) Jenny

Massimo's tag has getHeight and getWidth methods. Call those on an image, then check accordingly. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc. andy@icglink.com 615.370.1530 x737 --------------//---------> Thanks guys - I've been following this with interest as I have a particular resizing challenge at the moment. What I'm looking for is a way to test the size of an image before its displayed and then resize it if its width exceeds 250px - if 250px or less then it can be left alone. Not sure if tags like Massimo's support that or not.

Well ya weren't following that close Kevin....I posted CFC methods to check image dimensions AND another to re-size....a couplde of CFIFs and those will get ya what ya want ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

My CFC offers all the basic functionality you need for this, but you have to perform the logic (if exceeds crop, if not let it alone) on your own. In my opinion the best thing to do would be to extend the CFC and put your logic there. This would allow you to first, separate the logic from the core functionality, then it will make easier to update as soon as I will release an updated version of the CFC since you would not change my code directly. ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Tools for ColdFusion and Dreamweaver developers: http://www.massimocorner.com ----------------------------

ImageCR3 does that impeccably. When specifying dimensions for the resize you put >250x>100  and it will resize the width down to 250 if greater and/or the height down to 100 is greater than 100 with prefect quality results.
