A couple of weeks ago I posted about a really clever use of Flickr.

Well, I come across something even more impressive.  As described on the site:

“Revealed SIGGRAPH this new method of image resizing looks for seams (not simple columns or rows) of pixels with the ‘least energy’ (least contrast / change in detail) both vertically and horizontally in the image and then uses this to enable resizing without losing important image content such as human subjects or other detail. This technique can be used for reducing and enlarging images as well as removing items from the image which are not wanted (by manually painting ‘negative weight’ over an area of the image).”
