[thelist] Dynamic Image resizing on coldfusion

[Jeff Lucido]

Emmet:

Yep, I have been using this tag for a few weeks now and have excellent
results. The tag is very extensible and allows several different
compression algorithms, etc. I switched from CFX_GIFGD for this one
since I too was doing a lot of thumbnailing. They have a free eval too:

Do you need a slick color picking tool that will produce color codes in
HTML, VB and C++? How about some handy tools for color mixing, etc.? Try
a piece of above normal freeware from Green Eclipse Software;

Best of luck,

Does anyone know of a better solution for resizing than CFX_GIFGD, or
maybe a better way to optimize the quality of the resized image using
coldfusion.


Currently I use this snippet and it works fine, but the thumbnail
quality leaves much to desire.

<CFX_GIFGD ACTION="READ"
				 FILE="#ExpandPath('.\#image#')#">

				<CFIF #IMG_WIDTH# GT "150">

				<CFX_GIFGD ACTION="RESIZE"
	             FILE="#ExpandPath('.\image#')#"
	             OUTPUT="#ExpandPath('.\#image#')#"
				 X="150">
