Content Aware Photo Resize
Web Designer Premium includes the ability to stretch photos using a new technique that retains the
proportions of key aspects of the photo.
The human eye is particularly sensitive to changes in aspect ratio of everyday objects, and most people
can tell something is wrong with images that are even slightly squashed or stretched.
Here is an example photo of the
famous Torii Gate in Japan. Clearly
the gate itself is the main subject of
this picture.
Here the photo
has been
stretched using the
normal stretching
method of the
Selector Tool
. Even with this
moderate
stretching it's
obvious the
proportions of the
gate have been
badly distorted.
Stretching using Content Aware Scaling. It still looks perfectly natural. The gate proportions are in tact,
even at this extreme stretch, which is twice as wide as the original. The stretched coast line remains
looking natural.
Preparing Your Photo
