Image resizing as it should be
September 10th, 2007 by Josh
Resizing images has never been a pleasant thing. Trying to make something bigger using interpolation rarely results in good-looking results. And resizing something to be smaller can often lose important detail. And these techniques really fall apart when you aren’t retaining the aspect ratio of your image.
But apparently someone has been working on a Better Way ™.
Check this out:
This is very impressive, in my opinion. I can’t wait for this “retargeting” technology to find its way into consumer grade image editing software!

You realize that this is not cool but greatly evil, right? Check out the discussion in Cort’s journal about it: http://cdwfs.livejournal.com/79508.html

I disagree that it is evil. Any number of technological advances can be used for evil. Computers, explosives and planes can and have been used for nefarious purposes but they are also put to many benign uses. As far as removing someone from a photo, I was doing that in Photoshop 2.5 in the 90’s; it just took a lot longer. We left the principle that “seeing is believing” behind long ago.
