http://live.pirillo.com/ – The other night I posted a video about a new picture editing website. A user left a follow up comment to that video, letting me know of yet another new site. This one is very different, and MUCH better than anything I’ve seen to work with photos.

Last week, I posted a video about resizing photos on the web. I received some excellent feedback on it, including a link to this excellent new site.

rsizr.com is a photo editing site that utilizes what is being called ‘intelligent image resizing’. This site uses a new type of algorithm called seam carving. Instead of making the entire picture smaller or larger, it takes parts of an image, retargets it, and preserves the important pixels in the photo.

This couldn’t be simpler to do. Upload a photo, and choose your settings. Watch the red lightning bolt as it targets all the important parts of your picture… almost like magic. The best part, of course, is the fact that this awesome site is free!
