Licensing an algorithm developed last year, Adobe will be implementing this feature into CS4 which will effectively end pixelation issues caused by resizing images. Video Proof |

I really like it.
This is what I have been asking for, for years. Way to go Adobe.

Uh, bear in mind that this was in no way Adobe's Idea. www.seamcarving.com/It's cool but it's not just a magical simple thing that works instantly. It's especially difficult to get it to work with really Chiaroscura imagery. But yeah, this has existed for a few years and the original program obviously did it a little better than photoshop. It's still really awesome! I just don't think Adobe deserves any credit for this already-existing technology that they jumped at. It also has it's limits. It's not going to make your little thumbnail into a gigantic 20"x20" print; that's not what it's for. It's mostly for recomposing images, not ending pixelation (In fact if you go too far up or down you'll get some really nasty pixelation with this feature). |

uh, bear in mind this algorithm will make cs4 run as slow as quake 4 on a 1997 mac.

This has nothing to do with Pixelation, it's just resizing certain parts of the image. And there is a way to do this on CS3/CS2 (but with more manual work). My PhotoShop teacher told us how last semester, I'll have to ask him about it.

cs4 still stinks in comparison to cs3 and below  |

My PhotoShop teacher told us how last semester, I'll have to ask him about it. What the . . . I just said . . .  It's called seam carving and it's purpose is mainly for recomposing pictures into different spaces while preserving the important parts (like people etc.). The program tries to detect areas that would visually effect the image least if changes and then sneak in pixels (they called them low-energy zones or something). Also there's no way of doing this exact thing in Photoshop CS2 or CS3 unless there's a widely unpopular plugin I don't know about. (There is a stand-alone program that was made by the people who created seam carving; I don't know if it's still available anymore.) cs4 still stinks in comparison to cs3 and below Actually it rocks when you have a computer with exactly the right hardware; but it's ridiculously unforgiving if a single thing is out of order. I don't have any major problems on my computer and it starts up pretty fast and runs well; unfortunately it has crashed on me just for using a Flat brush I made in CS3. At my school if you so much as touch the canvas with a brush from CS3 photoshop CS4 will instantly crash. Overall CS2 had my favorite changes, I like the Interface changes in CS3 and I like the Mask Palette in CS4 (The adjustments palette is fine but I miss the preview checkbox). CS4 really did introduce some cool new features but the program just isn't as reliable anymore. |

And I've never got around to asking my professor, anyways  |

There should be a button in the upper toolbar. I'm not sure where. There could also be an option under Select or one of the other menu's.
