Tools, tips, and techniques for software developers.
Have you heard of Seam Carving before? Seam Carving allows you to stretch or squish images without distorting them. It's an amazing process that you have to see to believe. The video is just a little over 4 minutes and well worth it (even my wife thought it was cool, though she might have just been pretending).
I learned of this through a blog post by Mike Swanson. He has created a .Net version of this algorithm. I'm really hoping that this makes its way into Paint.Net!
For more details about Seam Carving, check out Seam carving for content-aware image resizing [20 MB PDF].
About Brian Brewder
I'm a software engineer in Kirkland, WA. I have been developing with .Net since 2002. My main area of focus has been designing and implementing a UI framework for an ERP system. Before I got into .Net, I developed for several years in a variety of languages and platforms including mostly ASP, though I've also developed applications for both Palm and Pocket PC devices.
I received my degree in Computing and Software System from the University of Washington in 1999. I have also completed a certificate course in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML, also from the University of Washington, in 2005.
