Seam Carving Images ….. this is cool.
{ August 24th, 2007 }
This is a cool video. These guys have built a very cool tool. This is a very interesting video to check out if you have ever had to resize or crop an image to make it fit. This technology has made that a thing of the past.

I feel like if I had told someone we could resize images without making them feel resized, I would have been thrown in the crazy house. Absolutely mind melting.

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
