Photoshop CS 4WES0ME

in Adobe, design, slyt
Adobe Photoshop CS4 will include a new feature: content aware scaling. I am geeking out.
Ah, design is becoming so democratic! Free market! Even your grandma can do it!
There’s been a plugin to do this for the GIMP for at least half a year (I think I’ve had it installed longer)
I had no idea. I grew up with Photoshop, and my first and only foray into GIMP lasted about one minute as I discovered its learning curve wasn’t nil. A terribly lazy experience, I know, but I just went back to the program I had been working with for years.
Anyway, this highlights one of the amazing aspects of open-source software. Their extensibility tends to be great, leading to closed-source equivalents having to play catch-up in the next major release. Firefox, Gimp, Linux etc. get new features pretty much anytime a community developer thinks of one. With their closed-source alternatives, however, you’re probably looking to wait at least a year unless the feature’s there right out of the box.
That’s pretty neat.
GIMP sucks
yeah, photoshop is way better than gimp… don’t compare :) content aware scaling won’t benefit me, because I don’t play with images all that much… but it’s great non the less :) Thanks for the video!
