Help with images

I am needing to find a (or a couple) cfx tags to allow me to work with images on my site. The first thing I need to do is upload an image to the server and add a record to the database of the file along with some input from the user about the file including caption. I also need to resize this file to a max attribute for one of the height or width. And lastly I need to make a thumbnail for the photo.

I want to use CFX_Image_MX that my host already has installed, but can not find any docs and the host is not very helpful with it. I am a intermediate user of CF and my goal is to make an admin area that will allow the user to edit photo details and add new. I want to do this without the use of a FTP to upload the image and then using the web to edit details. I want a one stop shop so to speak.

Can anyone help me out?

Until someone comes up with a better response, you might be stuck with what the rest of us call trial-and-error. There's (I hope) limited documentation which is a start - print that out and get ready to start appending your own notes.

I use to use CFX_Image (or was it CFX_img?), but too often the thumbnail looked crappy and my client were not pleased. I've since changed the shopping carts so that the client can upload 2-3 graphics for each product and if anything comes out crappy its within their power to change it.

Your ambitions it seems are notable, don't forget to turn a profit.
