Content Aware Image Resizing

[rmonroe041]

UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE! AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! Great Job Ariel!

[tolisBFMV]

does anybody know what is the name of the program ??

[AtomicShroomx]

The end is like digital Stalin.

[LeComaAnim]

3:23 best part

[danielkraak]

This is pretty impressive. But doesn't this sometimes mess up the proportions of humans?

[Azazaazazazza]

Seriously impressive. I love the approach and the explanation of how it works.

[shrivak]

This... it's like digital elastic!

[oryrm19]

absoloutly amazing!

[Darbkin]

I'd like to use this in conjunction with my GigaPan system We hope it can handle huge files.

[xxRazorJadexx]

Where's the free download, buddy? :D

[mestrategos]

Love using it :)

[lonebard]

I do not support this as fat women will use it to look thin.

[shmookins]

Amazing and smart tech. It plays out like magic.

[lllPowerPatricklll]

Damn you people, you should be ashamed for not doing your research. Adobe aquired the original Seam Carving feature to be used in their Photoshop CS4, under the name "Content Aware Scaling", which can be found under "Edit" in the menus. But some open source developers has created their own implementation of this algorithm in a library called "Liquid Rescale", that is more advanced than the original one, known by experience. Gimp has this library implemented, and can be found under "Layer".

how can i resize high res digital photos as i always shoot in maximum res on my canon g7 10mp. if i resize to 10x15 cm in photoshop i the image then becomes distorted and loses composition and people become flattened or streched. ALso what sucks is when i resize my photos im loosing resolution and picture quality. when i go to print on 10x15 on non resized phpto if i set fit picture to frame i loose the edges of the photo. HOw do i print on 10x15 without loosing resolution and clipping

[blurybury]

OMG!!! i used to pride myself in being able to tell if a photo has been doctored or not. oh yeah this (points to imaginary photo) has been doctored. look , i bet it used to be her boy friend. oh now there wont be any telling,

on the bright side, it will be sooooo much easier to snip out your ex's with this!!! whoever figured out how to do this is brilliant beyon measure. i hope they didnt sell for cheap to adobe as adobe has bought this technology up. cant wait to try it out! bye bye ex's!!

[Jackques]

Great! with this technology, especcially embedded into CS4 i can fire my 3 graphic designers and still work with 100% functionality!

really.. maybe its just me being weird.. but is no1 noticing a problem here? (and i aint talking about the video actually anymore, im sure that 80% orso, of the people who watch this ARE designers after all..)

[Pflanze]

Absolutely AMAZING!! I am stunned.

[fyamnky]

Phenomenal

[PhotoshopWizard10]

Just got got the XFile plug-in for Photoshop CS4. Works great.

[BitzFit]

Come on GIMP... this would be cool stuff!!

[ihaveajobhere]

I believe this is patented technology. Not that software patents are valid in many places...

[Efreeti]

Where? I can't find any information about it.

[41intelectual]

it is under edit>content-aware scale

if you have problems with the face getting distorted you can check 'protect skin tones'

here is a tutorial on how to better use it

/watch?v=HBFyCtm1yhI

or search youtube for 'cs4 seam carving' it's the first result

[NikoKun]

So where can I download this software? lol

[yoobody]

wow....fantastic....

Abia astept sa il descarc....

Adobe RULlZ

[slimxdi]

Also imagine how people submitting resized images to Photosynth will actually screw up the 3-d environment merging calculations.

[slimxdi]

An issue I will see arising from this: how will we be able to prove that an image and its "resized" image are actually the same source?

[der8lub]

like every time, someone edits an image- you cant have a prove for the original source of the picture (most of the times)

[austinyb]

but it is awesome.

[austinyb]

god he goes on forever.

[rikiki]

He is doing a demo at Siggraph(a conference to show new technology) of course it has to be detailed and show all features that normally we don't care about.

[austinyb]

ah. i see. thanks for the response.

[sebastianmandrean]

Photoshop CS4 is now release and this function is in it. It's called "Content Aware Scale" in Photoshop.

[RADO420]

wow that's crazy and i want that shit!

[zentamm]

As rumoured, it was today announced that this feature is in Photoshop CS4.

[Aniforce]

Genius work! I'll remember this one!

[dragonmoony]

[Snapshot187]

You're pathetic...

[Snapshot187]

@Kayanamasha: You're pathetic...

[Psaex]

Holy shxt. o_O

That's just wicked.

Great work.

:O Gesus! :O

[UltimateVenom]

[lutas1611]

dude!

[PiercedDooD]

f*ing-A

[Supradozadenebunie]

very useful tool!

[TheAngusBurger]

Incredible.

[FossilDragon]

O_O wow...

[g3xter2]

amazing just cant believe it

[danikaland]

wow

[rijo14]

niiiice

[Epidrone]

Whoa, the future

[sdlabs]

Soon to be available for hire: millions of unemployed photoshop slaves.

[danielmorrisonrhymes]

hah, exactly what I thought.

[jaraldz]

WOW AMAZING

[shoe337]

Dude.

[perspeeks]

It's impressive, and I'm sure a ton of skill went into it, but the way the images are being distorted annoys me. It's worse than people watching 4:3 stretched to widescreen!

[zorodius]

You seem to have missed the point.

[Riteksi]

Excuse me while I crawl under the table to collect my jaw.

[davayvklub]

@Riteksi Indeed, I'm going to require extensive mandibular-reattachment surgery after this ...

[creamyhorror]

Completely amazing.

[analogy6]

neeeeeeeeerd

[overwhelm4ever]

analogy6 . I sense lack of intelligence in you.

[SeanODesse]

WOW! GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!

[pkemrin]

This is actually available to everyone for personal and commercial use now.*

[Thiefree]

holy image-hax batman! O_o

[jhaggenburg]

DUDE!

[Adileader]

WOW...that is sooooo cool I want that in Photoshop 11!!!

[iglor]

Look for rsizr which is free working browser version of this. It looks cool in this tiny video... but you see the flaws on high res.

[Mercury13kiev]

As for me, this technology is as simple as a log. And I wonder that such a simple technology WORKS...

[germ321]

is this thing commercialized yet? so awesome

[ferrariModenas]

I wanna reboot my life.

[olivedrag]

I want to resize my life!

[TBTCobrA]

Wow man,It;s awesome,I'll download it imeddiately

[432112342222]

Wow this is the best

[ReaIly]

Hahahaha

[shoshbot]

Oh my goodness.  This could get scary!

[sorrygofish]

This is really fantastic work.

[YoryDmX]

Holly mother of God...now that is something that im rly looking foward to the next photoshop generation :D

[sarxada]

Harika

[jhimlyb]

Oh my god...this is just amazing!!! just AMAZING!!

[tom2strobl]

[acedrinker]

Wow

[stevie901]

[sorrygofish]

This is really inspiring. Good work.

[TechnexLOL]

This is truly amazing, the best software I have ever seen. Amazing, I wish you the best!

[Adamdudeman]

Can you make me this program :P

[alandelon333]

Really Good!

[katikuta]

Mein God! Really Fantastic!!

[donaldrs]

:O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pauldengmelb]

nice!

[mysacredspace]

thanks for sharing your tips. Please let us know when you or someone else develops a software tool that simplifies the process. For now, if I want to dynamically create content for multiple device resolutions, I guess the solution is to keep images under 480 X 640 with no page margins.

[ongerek]

Amazing how the search dynamic program works so fast (real time as you stretch or shrink).

[sweavo]

The search is performed once for the image and the results are cached (from 2:11 in the video)

[ongerek]

Thanks for the (really helpful) tip, which, perhaps, says an info that deserves to be inside the video, itself. Caching the search results is still an excellent and cool idea (none as close to the idea of the work, though :-)

[idrissofny]

omg that was crazy!!!

[poisongodmachine]

dang! that was cool!

[infoshabaz]

Stalin would have loved this

[Gorbachev]

Screw stalin.

[ribogok]

Haha, really good point!

[ribogok]

Btw, this thing is genius.

[skenderb]

WOW !!

Really great ! I can't wait to see this on my computer :)

[drewry]

absolutely incredible, you are amazing!

[rogic]

fantastic

[chumina2427]

Ahora sí dormiré tranquila!

Ja!

Simplemente fantástico!

[tanekki]

incredible.

[TailsIII]

This is what we call a 'good idea.'

[G0D666]

holy shit that is amazing

[Throla]

JUST AMAZING!!!! // INCREIBLE!!!!

[1zaj]

It's a pleasure.

[Cafemaa]

Good work men, good work !

A lot of thanks :)

[rudxai]

That's fuckin' awesome for us nerdy ppl!

Noooo...now people will be able to erase me out of their pictures... =(

[limaq]

this is the future!

[sucrilhoscomlasanhas]

OMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFG!!!!!!!

[talpazzo]

!!!!!!!!WOW!!!!!!!!!

[j0rd]

looking forward to this being supported in browsers. because it will make my life as a designer and programmer 100 times harder :)

[hideo1988]

strabilliante!!!

[AmishCellPhone]

Neato

[bobesfanchi]

holy shit

[matchStickManEleven]

Really amazing!!

[xxdigipiratexx]

Wow. I'm speechless.

[beautyinabottle]

Awesome!

[designhawg]

An incredibly powerful tool that does nothing but undermine the authority of visual images to depict what is accurate.

[PIXILEETS]

All visual images are interpretations of "reality". The only authority that visual imagery can claim, is to depict a subjective viewpoint of the imagemaker. To imagine that any image you see,especially those in media,are "accurate" depictions of "reality",is naive.

[PIXILEETS]

This software is not only amazing,but I think it will allow imagemakers a more refined tool in a medium whose very existence insists on its ability to be manipulated It seems to me, a tool like this could only offer image makers a more accurate voice.

[NikoKun]

Amazing... How soon till this is publicly available? I MUST have!

[Dragos25]

Incredibly cool. What a great resource for the web. I wonder if it works at high-rez for print.

[timeXway]

wow just wow, i'm sure we'll see that everywhere soon

[bidwbb]

Extremely cool!

[midnine]

I hope this is applied to video eventually.

[tomasce]

this is so stupid

[Dase1982]

you're just to stupid to get it.

[alexiskopikis]

Stupid? I think its brilliant.

[RussellsParadox]

Fuhh. King. Awesome.

[revolis]

Utter gash

[boyo111]

But if the picture is meant to convey something, this will eliminate it. For window dressing images its pretty cool, but I'm not certain it generates the precise image I would want to see though. It's a good use of technology and an interesting application of energy in a photo, but not amazing.

[moogmoo]

I don't see this as amazing. The images don't stay the same perspective when reduced in size. At 1.11 you can see the people are much closer to the boulder in the centre of the the image and that's not how the photo was originally shot.

[jcotteri]

very handy..... well done inventors

[bigbadbowtie572]

Damn! Can it make my wife less ugly or do I still have to drink a case o' beer to do that? XD

[karmagreen]

wow thats amazing

[CaTTiusha]

That is frickin' incredible. This is something. No more pixel fighting ;)

[xXxRadicalDreamerxXx]

Very cool.

[Swin0]

This is absolutely amazing. The type of thing you knew could be done but you were just waiting for someone to do it. Awesome!

[acce245]

Linux, anyone?

[marysiak]

That is frickin' awesome.

[hw2002]

truth

[hw2002]

This should teach you that everything you see are NOOT always true in your media.

Everything can be done to manipulate you!

Be wise to the western people!

[mooinator23]

God damn, next thing you know will have a man on the moon!

[TheOneartist]

Is that sarcasm?

-The One

[EBUTU0YY0UTUBE]

lol true

[sleepingeye]

damn good technology

[bujatt]

excellent!

[NaoEstaFacil]

Awesome. This should be a standard feature in any image editor

[TheOneartist]

It is in Photoshop, is it not?

-The One

[Imanuel17]

It is a project of an Israeli software designer who works at Adobe. Who knows may be this is the next generation of Photoshop or/and image editing

[ronixui]

What the... these guys are ginn!!

[CosplayerTheRealLink]

Wow.  I saw a few other videos showcasing this before but every time I watch it, it continues to amaze me!

[fizikakachrise]

awesome ... automatic photoshopping .... the future of recording history in images is doooomed

[PropellerBusted]

I guess now when I watch an action thriller and people go "ENHANCE" it won't seem like so much bullshit to me anymore.

Impressive.

[jahhn]

Now we just need to have realtime capabilities w/ video images..... good bye reality!! holy poo....

[acousvnt]

I would assume for video it would need to analyze several frames at a time to find consistent seams, otherwise the result would be jumpy. But yeah, what an interesting alternative that would be to "pan and scan"!

[davosian]

One of the inventors has now been hired by Adobe. Photoshop users stay tuned!

[Samos321]

interesting.

[Thmoliv]

I want it!!!!!

[losergurl]

why am i watching this? and why am i so interested in it...lol

[PatoMilo]

Incredible! This is going to change everything in Graphic Design cappabilities.

[bhodybored]

awesome prog!

[smek2]

Impressed. Soon to be a feature of Photoshop, i guess.

[clotus]

Err holy crap did you see the last part, this is really impressive stuff.

[toodyskt]

this is an almost thing they have done about image resizing.
