Description:
Returns a width or height of an image when scaled down to a specified height or width while maintaining the original aspect ratio.

Return Values:
Returns a number.

Example:

<cfset oldWidth = 660>
<cfset oldHeight = 495>
<!--- scale by height --->
<cfset newHeight = 90>
<cfoutput>
Scale by Height<br>
<cfset newWidth = imageScale('h',oldHeight,oldWidth,newHeight)>
Old Dimensions: #oldWidth# x #oldHeight#<br>
New Dimensions: <strong>#newWidth#</strong> x #newHeight#<br><br>
</cfoutput>

<!--- scale by width --->
<cfset newWidth = 120>
<cfoutput>
Scale by Width<br>
<cfset newHeight = imageScale('w',oldHeight,oldWidth,newWidth)>
Old Dimensions: #oldWidth# x #oldHeight#<br>
New Dimensions: #newWidth# x <strong>#newHeight#</strong><br>
</cfoutput>
