A superhero for the 21st century

Well, to paraphrase Prince, you don't have to be rich, you don't have to be cool, I just want your extra time and your.... very clever algorithm for "Content Aware Image Resizing".



Shai Avidan is the guy behind the program, well, he's half of it, together with Ariel Shamir, and he's just been hired by Adobe. I read his CV here, and found out that although he's been working in the U.S. for a while now, the dude is Israeli and even graduated from the Hebrew University. Kinda cool, innit? Now we just have to wait for Photoshop CS4 or 5 to try it out for ourselves...
