The companion files: Download (26)Liquid Rescaling or Seam Carving - two names for a new way to change the proportions of pictures while keeping the content in shape. The Gimp now has such a plugin and I’ll show you how to use it. COWS? Well, they are important…..
Edit: There is a new version of the plugin out.
I promised some links:
- The plugin site
- The Video about this algorithm
- The paper with all the background
- The stuff about the importance of cows
- The Meet the Gimp! photogroup at 23
Don’t forget to make a triptych and post it in the photogroup. I’ll draw a winner for the one year 23Plus membership sponsored by 23 in show 16. So you have still time to Oct. 18 to submit an entry. The pictures there are already worth to be looked at.

In this episode, you said that the Liquid-Rescale-Plugin would not work on Mac OS, but I managed to compile and run it without any hassle… I think there are just no binaries available, but the plugin is working fine on OS X.

That is great news, I’ll tell it on the show.

I’ve tried the plugin under Gimp 2.4 3rd release. It seems to be working without any mistakes to me. And this episode was very comprehensive to me.

Same for me under Suse 10.3 Gimp 2.4.0-rc3 no problem at all
Great VideoCast Thank’s a lot

when I tried this plugin it took over an hour for the picture to render. What am i doing wrong?

No idea with that much data. Picture too big? Not enough memomory?

It’s might be a memory issue, thanks Rolf. Your screencast is teaching me so much.
