Resize Image when uploading

[akcreative-SGNF4D]

HI all,

Is there any way I can resize image when user upload the file to my server. Lets say I need to resize the file from 300 pixels to 500 pixels.

Thanks in Advance

I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be hard if you use java for such purpose.
I used to do such things by Java.
You can use Java in Coldfusion, so in my opinion it shouldn't be a big problem....

Also check ImageMagick , which is a free solution. www.imagemagick.org/

You can control imageMagick with cfexecute tag, or use the jMagick interface (haven't tried it lately though)

I have been using cfx_pwimageproc for years and It works amazingly well. Can resize, add watermarks, rotate... its a really cool tag.

Google cfx_pwimageproc. You'll find it there.
Its made by Perthweb.

Demo is free. The liscence isnt too expensive...

Is there a way to go it without a custom tag....I use cfx_imagecr which is amazing but i have a site hosted by another server and the hosting company resuses to install custom tags

Alagad Image Component will work:

Johnny852 has the answer I think you're looking for - Look up how to do it in Java, and then use CF to create the java classes and perform the logic. The only restriction is that you would need to be able to use <cfobject> or CreateObject(), which some hosting companies disable for security reasons.

This link might be a little more helpful than my last post:

Or you could not reinvent the wheel, and just use Alagad, which does
*exactly* what you are suggesting. With the benefit of already being
widely used and tested and proven to work.

Change hosts, citing this restriction of theirs as the reason you're
jumping. Selecdt a new host who has no such restriction.

It does look like alagad should fit the bill. The only downside is, in fact, the BILL. Not that $75 is a lot to pay for that type of functionality, but if you you have a lot of servers you want to install this on or you have a little free time and elbow grease, you should be able to code the basic functionality you need fairly quickly. Following one of the links I provided last night, I whipped the following up which scales a graphic down by 10x . It should be fairly easy to modify it to scale to specific dimmensions:

Absolutely agree: it's a balancing act.

I see Alagad as being a very cheap solution to a complex task, and -
personally - well worth me not arsing around replicating the functionality.

But it depends on the £ figure one attaches to one's time, and the scale of
the requirement.

Plus it's always nice to explore these things one's self... but only if
time permits!
