Hi Rick, Your code should be as below as below and it should work. Inside ImageResize() function, you should pass the image Object created through ImageNew() function...that is, "thumb" and not "oldthumb". "oldthumb" is a filename/path which is not accepted by ImageResize function. <cfset oldthumb = "#cffile.ClientFileName#.#cffile.ClientFileExt#"> <cfset thumb=ImageNew("E:\websites\ironwillsports\thumbs\#oldthumb#")> <cfset ImageResize("#thumb#","","75","mitchell",1)> <cfimage source="#oldthumb#" action="write" destination="E:\websites\ironwillsports\thumbs\#cffile.ClientFileName#.# cffi le.ClientFileExt#" overwrite="yes"> Thanks Jayesh Viradiya Adobe CF Team Hey list, I'm having a problem using the image resize with a variable with CF 8.
