OnOne Software Releases Liquid Resize Preview
OnOne Software has released a preview of the Liquid Resize technology that they purchased sometime ago. Liquid Resize is a way of resizing images in a way that is different from any other technology available. Since it is hard to explain what it does, I am going to show you. I have included a small sample video. This video shows the current Liquid Resize interface, a photo that comes with the preview and my having resized the image down by 50%, watch as the photo shrinks, it is quite interesting.
It is important to note that anyone can download the preview from the OnOne Software site. This is a very early almost alpha copy. The interface will change and the tools will change. In the end they plan to have this as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop. The preview isn’t very stable at least it hasn’t been for me. It only works reliably on images 1000×1000 pixels or smaller. If you use the keep or remove paint brush to paint areas you don’t want altered or to select areas you do want altered you will most likely get a crash.
However, this technology is very interesting and once the bugs have been worked out and the technology fleshed out it looks to be a very promising technology.
