Back in August we posted a video of an amazing image resizing tool which was subsequently snapped up by Adobe (presumably as an upcoming feature in Photoshop). A little over a month later and a new free service has launched called rsizr. Rsizr uses the same “seam carving” technology used in the original demo video. The results are nothing short of AMAZING!

Here is a sample of a shot taken on my way to the top of Pikes Peak, CO. The image is then stretched while preserving the subject and frame.

Images can be uploaded in JPG, PNG or GIF formats. Manipulation can be performed both horizontally (as in my example) and vertically to both stretch or squash. You can check out some great examples of what is possible in their gallery.

There are not many things online that completely amaze me, but this is one of them. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.
