Holy crap that is so amazingly cool.

Someday the idea of a "bad photoshop" will be a thing of the past. We can never ever trust images again. Ever.

Somehow I don't think it's going to run well on a $200 desktop.

I'm guessing dual core.

If the rock is not next to the tree
I don't want the rock to appear next to the tree.

If the tree cannot move in real life
I don't want the tree to move on the web page.

If there are five people on the beach
I don't want them to show four people on the beach just because they can.

If the image has to be cropped to fit
it is still more real than this crap.

you gotta admit that the way it keys on highlights and messes with 'background' segments is pretty cool.

the quick elimination of elements of a picture was really groovy. these tutorial things show you what they had in mind when they created the software, but you usually dont see the true benefit until you dick around with it yourself a while.

I'd like to spend a couple grand on a really kickass computer so i could play with shit like that...and cool video editing and music editing programs......but i cant justify it when i can do what is needful with a $400 laptop.

I can see ways of really screwing with images, enlarging or making them smaller in this then cropping them one a regular program.
It would be hard to tell and could mess with people's heads with a lot of stuff.

Still cheaper than a divorce.

Wow, what a time saver. It's about fucking time.

Adding, deleting, stretching and shrinking blocks of pixels of details and gradients, and blocking out objects, I've done by hand so many times. It can be fun when you're into it, but if you're on deadline, there's no time for the fun. :rolleyes:

Um...I guess I'm the last person alive who still holds out hope that what I see online has anything to do with reality?

Well, with the exception of removing specific items from the pictures, most of the scaling stuff could be done before with different camera lenses anyway. It's just that now it can be done after the fact.
