Genuine Fractals and Liquid Resize
You may have seen our press announcement yesterday about our acquisition of the Liquid Resize technology developed by Austrian developer Sabet Ramin which as in turn based on the paper issued at Siggraph 2007.
I've gotten a few emails and phone calls since then asking what impact this will have on Genuine Fractals. The short answer is that this won't have an impact on Genuine Fractals.
Here's the longer answer...
The two technologies, while both involve resizing, are quite different.
Genuine Fractals is designed for those who want to increase the size of a file to get a higher resolution file for printing purposes and to maintain the aspect ratio of the original file.
The technology in Liquid Resize, on the other hand is meant for when you want to resize a digital image and change the aspect ratio of the image, but not distort the image. I'll post some examples of Liquid Resize in the next couple of days, but in the meantime, I hope this answers the question for most people.
