Here's your Monday video fix, a presentation on some content aware image resizing software which has some truly jaw-dropping capabilities. Dr. Ariel Shamir and Dr. Shai Avidan (of Adobe) have developed a way to resize images using something they call "seam carving" which lowers distortion in images.
Granted, it sounds kind of boring, but the results are stunning. As Arrington [writes][1] in a post on Techcrunch, I want this to make its way into Photoshop, though personally I'm willing to wait.
