It offers designers and image professionals a much more &#8216;intelligent&#8217; way to resize and manipulate images. As it matures, it&#8217;s likely that programs such as <a href=\"http:\/\/vso-image-resizer.en.softonic.com\">VSO Image Resizer<\/a> will become increasingly dated until they incorporate it.

Initial impression are positive although it works somewhat sluggishly at the moment. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/2007\/08\/holy_crapworthy.html\">John Nack at Adobe<\/a> first raised my attention to the possibilities this technology offers with his story about two Israeli developers who have been among the pioneers of it&#8217;s development. As Nack describes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When scaling an image horizontally or vertically (e.g. making a panorama narrower), the technology looks for paths of pixels that can be removed while causing the least visual disruption.  Just as interesting, if not more so, I think, is the way the technology can add pixels when increasing image dimension.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information about how the technology works and what to expect in the future, check out the video (after the fold).<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">[youtube]vIFCV2spKtg[\/youtube]<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content aware resizing technology is one of the new and exciting emerging aspects of imaging technology.
