Liquid Resize Product Preview Now Available
I'm pleased to inform you today that after a bit of a delay, we have posted the first drop of the Liquid Resize Product Preview for you to download and start playing with. Head over to the Liquid Resize Product Preview page for details and the link to request the download.
Please note, that this first build is an early release and is not necessarily indicative of what you'll see in the final release. Specifically, the product has not yet undergone any significant speed enhancements since we originally acquired the code in January 2008. We have plans to do that before the final release, but haven't gotten there yet.
Also, the user interface is largely unchanged since we acquired the code but when we do ship the final version, there will be significant changes to the user interface. One of my biggest complaints about the current build you'll see is that for the protect and delete brushes, red is used to signify an area to protect and green is used to signify areas to delete. Seems backwards to me, but maybe it's just me - though I think it will at the very least get reversed in an upcoming build.
The application is currently a stand alone app but will be converted into a Photoshop plug-in when we're all done.
We've also included a sample image for you to play with and it gets loaded automatically when you launch the app (either Mac OS X or Windows). Here's a short QuickTime movie where you can see it in action.
