The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Custom tag / settings for Resizing images using coldfusion

Asked by IDEASDesign in ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: coldfusion, image, resize

I need to find a good quality / cost effective image resizer for ColdFusion MX that gives us the following functionality:

1) good quality thumbnail creation
2) Ability to apply smoothing or blurring functions prior to resizing (to enhance quality of generated thumbnails)
3) the ability to generate and output grayscale images (not 100% necessary but desired)

I am already aware of and have experimented with CFX_IMAGE,  CFX_JPEGRESIZE, and the ImageJ CFC, .. and have also attempted to use the Alagad image component as well as the efflare custom tag.

CFX_IMAGE = The quality is awful.  I'm trying to add the IML "setjpesmooth " command to the tag in attempt to blur the image somewhat prior to resizing, . but it doesn't seem to be taking.   ( COMMANDS="setjpesmooth 10" ) ... what is the correct syntax for this?  And what range of numerical values can be assigned?

CFX_JPEGRESIZE = The quality is much better, .. but there are no built-in smoothing or blurring functions??

ImageJ CFC = Would be ideal, only it's buggy as hell
* chokes on black and white images - generated thumbnails get corrupted and wont' display in flash animations
* does not resize proportionally (sometimes gives be a black square with a little tiny image in the upper left corner (??)

Efflare custom tag = installed, but generating errors - nagging about some other, unrelated DLL file missing (??)

Alagad image component = installed, but generating errors.  Nagging about not being able to find component (??)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
