don't resize -- retarget

This demo of a new technology for resizing images is pretty interesting:

(If you can’t see the video above, it’s available on YouTube.)

Obviously, since the photo is being materially altered, it has no place in a news context unless it’s clearly used as a photo illustration (with proper labeling, etc.). Still, it could be pretty cool in other instances, like designing ads or editing an ex out of your vacation photos.

Hi,
If you are looking for a software to try out seam carving, take a look at http://www.thegedanken.com/retarget

The program that you can download there (for Windows and Linux, and free) is already highly optimized concerning speed, and apart from enlarging or decreasing image size you can also use masks to protect or delete certain parts of your image.

Have fun,
Irmgard
