techcrunch.com — The day before yesterday I showed the above video (it has now been viewed nearly 100,000 times), which shows some jaw dropping examples of next generation image manipulation, and said “I want this in PhotoShop immediately.” Well, that may be happening sooner rather than later. Co-inventor Shai Avidan has now joined Adobe...

Unfortunately no.. I was initially thinking the same thing. "HOLY CRAP, I can make all my sites fluid as hell now!" but this will have the same effect as scaling an image in PS now and using an image replacement technique once the browser window gets to small.what would need to be produced is an image file type that has this capability built in. Which is probably next to impossible.

Visual media will be forever changed. Wait till these algorithms are applied to digital video and video games. Depth perception will become so much more realistic.

That was my first thought. My second was that I'll be spending a lot less $ on headache remedies.

Gotta hand it to this guy; this is truly a breakthrough--especially if it someday gets implemented in Adobe products, which I'm sure everyone will be pulling for.However, as a photographer, I see this as a problem. Hopefully all you who will be using this for its timesaving streamlining benefits will still see a value in using quality photographs, instead of fixing up your "i shot this myself" kitch pics. No amount of digital enhancement can beat a photograph with the utmost in quality.

Actually, it's not that hard to do this; the algorithm to calculate seams looks pretty simple to me; and would only process a picture in linear time oN-nN times in each direction (where oN is the original dimension, and nN is the target dimension). Video compression and decompression codecs do a LOT more work than this, and can be implemented in hardware to handle *astounding* resolutions in real time.
