Mind = Blown (seam carving)I just came across an amazing technique for image manipulation called "seam carving" that lets you shrink (or grow) the dimensions of an image without cropping the photo or shrinking the elements of it. If that sounds a little hard to understand, the best way to grasp what this means is to watch the demo video. There is also a free web-based tool where you can play with the technique on your own photos.
The computer science guy in me is totally geeked on this cool use of math for a practical application. Here is an example picture that I shrunk:

You really have to watch the video, or try it with a sample picture to get the feel for it. The result of the picture I shrank isn't that impressive--nothing that someone with a little photoshop skill couldn't do. But when you watch a picture be *dynamically* resized, that is the wild part.
