This is a very powerful tool providing a myriad of creative solutions. You can also take a low resolution image source and use it to generate a high resolution image that is based upon. The resulting images are unique, and will tile seamlessly, making them ideal for use as backgrounds, brushes or texture maps. You can use imageSynth from Luxology to create an unlimited number of creative new images based upon simple seed images that you choose from your collection. The plug-in is simple to use and rewards experimentation. And now you can buy it standalone.ĭeveloped in conjunction with the smart people at Allegorithmic, the imageSynth plug-in is a powerful ally to Adobe PhotoShop for anyone wanting to create seamless tiling textures. ImageSynth is included FREE with every purchase of modo. ImageSynth is advanced technology that works within Adobe PhotoShop for creating seamless textures and for creating high resolution images from low resolution sources using advanced image synthesis algorithms.

It’s not the ultimate solution, because in some cases you still need to do some cloning in the background, but regardless of this it’s still an impressive product and I’m looking forward to future developments. It doesn’t happen so often that you come across a plug-in that is actually useful. In this example I included the big roll of hay in the background in my selection: You can even take it a step further and make multiple selections. Slight distortions in the background can be easily corrected with cloning, but wait…. This time no distortion of the main subject. I used the same original, but this time I resized with Picutel Smart Resize after making a selection around the girl first.

I resized the image in Photoshop with Image/Resize, deselected Constrain Proportions and lowered the width from 500 to 300 pixels.Īs you can see, the main subject is distorted. I’ve tested this plug-in with the following image: At the top smart resizing is used, while ordinary resizing is shown at the bottom: This is accomplished by only rescaling the least interesting or important regions of the photo, leaving the more interesting regions untouched.Īn example can be seen in the following video. Unlike ordinary resizing, Smart Resize can change the proportions (aspect ratio) of an image without introducing artifacts such as unnaturally tall or short people. Picutel Smart Resize is a Photoshop plugin (only Windows supported for now) for advanced resizing of photos.
