A new and brilliant photo editing technique
The first time I saw seam carving in action, I thought it was an optical illusion. It isn’t. Back 1 month ago it was a proof of concept. Now you can finally use seam carving on your own images!
First, a quick summary of the technique: Typically, when you resize a photo, you
just make everything in it smaller. Simple, right? Well seam carving is like a
smarter version of resizing. Your computer analyzes the photo and figures out what’s
important and what isn’t, then it eliminates the less important areas first as you
shrink the image.
That means you can resize a photo to be half as wide without shrinking everyone in
it, or even make a photo wider without making it look stretched. You can even pick
areas you definitely want to leave alone, or areas you definitely want to lose,
making it a super easy way to remove an ex or a stranger from a otherwise lovely
photo.
Well, enough already. You really need to give it a try for yourself.

Thank you for the hint. I found it very interesting. I’ve been looking for a good resizing tool. Rsizr is good, but not as easy as I thought it would be. I found an easier interface at Reshade. Their tool is great and very, and I underline very, easy to use. The quality that you get is, from my point of view, at least equal, if not better that the other tools.
