Sweet technique.

I would definitely buy a new version of Photoshop for this. At any rate, I would suspect that there will be a lot of demand for a feature like this. Home users could resize their photos easily and crop out the parts of the image while keeping the overall look. Businesses are bound to exploit it for marketing purposes (no more blurry images on brochures, able to resize and reuse images that they already have, etc.). After so many years of people dealing with the current techniques it makes sense that eventually a better one would be developed. I think that one of the problems with the world we live in today is that there are so many reiterations of the same thing. While that can be okay, it is nice to see something innovative like this...

Amazing indeed. Need to put that feature request into Paint.net Smiley

Wow, thats amazing.. such a great idea, removing or adding data in context of the image, rather than its dimensions.

They sure as hell need something new and innovating, this years updates to most there product range(CS3) was pretty dull overall.}

Since the seam information is stored for use by any application you could put it into a Flash file and embed it into a webpage and have the image scale depending on the size of the page.
It would be useless for "news" because it's not a true representation of the original image but it would certainly be most useful as a new tool to integrate into Photoshop.

It would be much more useful to implement in a web-browser or InDesign than Photoshop for it's dynamic resizing facility.

But in Photoshop's fine if you're just too lazy to do it manually.

If it saves people time, it's useful I guess.

Having spent almost 10 years in photoshop, I would DEFINITELY like to have this tool at my disposal. The methods done in this video are not something that most graphic-designers would sit down and do manually.

Photoshop gave us the healing brush, and rubber-stamp....both of those can kiss my pixel-path-lovin' behind Tongue Out
