Liquid Rescaling or Seam Carving – two names for a new way to change the proportions of pictures while keeping the content in shape. The Gimp now has such a plugin and I’ll show you how to use it. COWS? Well, they are important…..
Edit: There is a new version of the plugin out.
I promised some links:
- The plugin site
- The Video about this algorithm
- The paper with all the background
- The stuff about the importance of cows
- The Meet the Gimp! photogroup at 23
Don’t forget to make a triptych and post it in the photogroup. I’ll draw a winner for the one year 23Plus membership sponsored by 23 in show 16. So you have still time to Oct. 18 to submit an entry. The pictures there are already worth to be looked at.
