Cool resize plugin for GIMP
Some time ago I saw this post about a super horizontal/vertical resize algorithm which preserves the proportions of what is important on an image. Yesterday I was reading unread posts on Planet Ubuntu when I saw this post of Jorge Bernal where he says that already exists a plugin for GIMP of this algorithm (this is why I love free software).
Well, I installed it on my computer and made a test with my picture. Look the “before” and “after”:
If you want to play (and I think you will), download it for your plataform. After install it will be available on “Layer” menu.
Sharp! I will try it. That is a phenomenal bit of work… such a simple idea, it makes you wonder why it’s taken so many years to come up with it.
Where is the picture from (the big mailbox?)?
Hi Dave,
It’s the Santa Claus’ Park in Gramado – Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil.
Nice city to meet…
