LMAO Ikroll, I just got this yesterday and I I was just looking again this morning so figured I would come here and share it with you and low and behold you have already posted it..LOL

It is very cool, I might have to check out the Gimp stuff.

Found one for Photoshop here - http://picutel.com/smartresizeabout.html

Looks like I'm going to beat you again Creeduk. Another Open Source project that I believe will have lots of potential in the near future. Their system actually implements realtime seam carving. Very cool stuff. Not yet works for Windows, but they are working at it.

Nice work IK.

I tested the Photoshop plug and it has no interface but allows protection via selection and it works quickly on both up and down size.

I also found last week that the liquid resize tool added the ability to increase size. It works well but the dynamic portion has slowed down and can produce errors (best to just use the resize) and the brush seems slow. I think they will work out the kinks. I should check again see if they have an update.

It has now been offered as a tool for the flickR crowd in the form of Fotoflexer

One more I forgot to add, a resize application that offers standard resize options as well so you get a hybrid resize package. Resizor

It is slow right now and only retargets down not up, but I like the concept of an all in one scaling package.

I accidentally found out that my ol Image hosting site (ImageShack) is now offering a Liquid Rescale capability. Everybody's getting on the bandwagon now. lol

After you upload your image, you can Liquid Rescale before committing.

ok, my question is, who has the software that was shown in the youtube video? that seems to be the one that does it all.

That's the million dollar question Craig. Nothing wrong with reverse engineering, especially when the author opening displays his work like he did though.

well, the copycats are fine and glad, certainly, to see some open source, but...

creeduk · #24 11-26-2007, 10:05 AM

Basically Adobe has it because they employed the originator, so until they are ready to reveal then I guess we have to make do with the copy cats.

I see nothing wrong with the OS people. They even have a lot of flexibility to improve on the original system (i.e., better) w.r.t. adding different techniques for the slicing detection methods. As you said already, why wait.

Kraellin · #26 11-27-2007, 10:43 PM

well, i hope i didnt come across as disparaging the OS folks. i love open source and use quite a few pieces and i'm glad you guys are posting this stuff here

Didn't mean to make it sound like I was offended Craig; was not. I too wish Dr. Shamir would have made his demo more publically available since it was college research that he did and by nature, when he publically demoed his idea, to have done so (at least to the academics anyway). Still, his brilliant idea has a lot of uses and I'm for one glad to have already used this gem of an idea (via the OS interface) for several images now and am quite please with the results (both downsizing and upsizing).
