I'm trying to figure out how to allow someone to add there name to an image. I want to have an image and then allow the user to enter into a text field anything they would like and it would generate an image. Trying something similiar to this but in coldfusion:

Thanks for you help in advance! I'm working with Coldfusion 7 so I may have some limitations there.

    There are several tools inside Java itself that can manipulate images, and all the tags and cfcs you see for sale are wrappers around these for the most part.  You have two choices as I see it:-

    1. Bite the bullet and purchase a prewritten image manipulation cfc - Alagad Image Component is one I have used in the past and does the job well.
    2. Get your hands dirty by looking through the java docs at Sun's site and googling for the JAI (Java Advanced Imaging)  - and coding your own function.

    Now, I'm a tinkerer, so I'd go with option 2 if the mood took me, but it all depends on whether you have the time and knowledge.

    Did that help at all?

    For CF7 there was/is a Custom Tag called CFImage_MX ...with this and its simple scripting codes you can do what you want. search the net for the image_mx .. should be easy to find. If you don't succeed, drop me a note.
