Earlier this week we posted a [remarkable video][3] of an intelligent method of resizing images and joked that we'd love to see it in the next version of Photoshop. Now Adobe Photoshop Senior Product Manager John Nack [writes on his blog][1] that Adobe has in fact hired Shai Avidan, the co-developer of the resizing technology.
Of course, as Nack cautions, that doesn't mean the features will be in the next revision of the Adobe suite, but it does mean the potential is there.
Adobe has also grabbed a number of other researchers working on some fascinating photography technology including Wojciech Matusik, who has helped develop a camera lens system that can photograph an image [simultaneously at four different apertures][2].
So when will these technologies make it into Photoshop? Naturally Adobe is non-committal, but certainly it has the talent in place to bring some cool new features to already pretty impressive Photoshop package.
Here's the video again in case you missed it:
