Notice that I am overwriting ARGUMENTS.Query by running a query of queries on ARGUMENTS.Query. This was the closest thing I could think of that would duplicate the "situation" but with a different data type. This works just as you would expect it to (creating a new copy of the query; leaving the original alone).
Sorry about the huge tangent, but I felt that it was important to cover since we are covering tag-based image manipulation. Now that we are done with that, we can actually start to explore the CFImage tag functionality. To start with, let's just read in the mud monster image and output it with its added data (notice that I will be running all images through the AddImageInfo() UDF upon output):

<!--- Read in the original image. --->
<cfimage
action="read"
source="./mud_monster.jpg"
name="objOriginalImage"
/>

<!--- Write the origianl to the browser. --->
<cfimage
action="writetobrowser"
source="#AddImageInfo( objOriginalImage )#"
/>

Running the above, we get the image shown in Figure 3.

CFImage - Add Border to Image
When using CFImage to add a border, the related attributes (in addition to the standard CFImage attributes) are:

• Color (optional)
• Thickness (optional)

Black :: ##000000
Blue :: ##0000FF
Red :: ##FF0000
Gray :: ##808080
LightGray :: ##D3D3D3
DarkGray :: ##A9A9A9
Green :: ##008000
Pink :: ##FFC0CB
Cyan :: ##00FFFF
Magenta :: ##FF00FF
Orange :: ##FFA500
White :: ##FFFFFF
Yellow :: ##FFFF00

We are using the double hash (##) in the color names because when they are used as tag attributes, ColdFusion is going to try to evaluate the stuff between hash signs. What's going on here is that the double hash is just an escaped hash in the tag attribute. The border color defaults to black if you don't include it.

The thickness is the width of the border in pixels. This defaults to 1 if you don't include it.
Let see it in action:

<!---
Take the original image and add a border (save
it into a new image variable).
--->
<cfimage
action="border"
source="#objOriginalImage#"
color="##333355"
thickness="2"
name="objImage"
/>

<!--- Write the new image to the browser. --->
<cfimage
action="writetobrowser"
source="#AddImageInfo( objImage )#"
/>

When we run that, we get the image shown in Figure 4.

Notice that this new image is bigger in dimension to the original image. When adding a border, the border gets added to existing image, there by increasing its height and width by double the thickness of the rule.
