pf » ColdFusion 8 Update 1 Fixes some Image Processing Quirks

It was nice to see that two of the quirks that I talk about in my Image Processing in ColdFusion 8 presentation were fixed in ColdFusion 8, Update 1 - they are:

• The cfimage tag and image functions now retain EXIF data after operating on an image.
• The height and width attributes are now optional for cfimage action=captcha. If you omit these options ColdFusion sizes the Captcha image to fit the generated text. This is nice because if you specified a height or width that was too small it would throw an exception!

They also added two other enhancements / fixes in this update:

• The cfimage tag now supports alt, style, and other standard HTML image attributes.
• If you specify an image that uses the CMYK color space for the image border, ColdFusion converts it to the RGB color space. The source image is not changed.
