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.
