And we'll have to do some cleanup and commenting before this code can become public ;-) <br> * Using the application for videos is a nice idea, but I do not think it makes sense to start with that before we're satisfied with what it does to still images. <br> * We'll think about a Mac version...<br> <br> Cheers, Ramin and Irmgard Sat, 08 Sep 2007 14:00:00 +0200 http://www.thegedanken.com/retarget/default.asp?lnk=3 Now Resizing in both directions possible Check out the Animated Retarget feature (Retarget Button) Stay tuned for the next updates. Mon, 03 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.thegedanken.com/retarget/default.asp?lnk=3 Now Linux and Windows Versions available ! Minor optimizations. Stay tuned for the next updates. Sun, 02 Sep 2007 12:00:00 +0200 http://www.thegedanken.com/retarget/default.asp?lnk=3 Finally version 0.1 can be downloaded, the main goal was to optimize the seam removal, so the user interface is still ugly, but you get an idea. Stay tuned for the next versions, where vertical resizing and maybe some more features will be added.
