This small image was stretched to produce the large on above..."how'd they do that?" Read the following article..you'll be amazed at what you learn.Stretching the Truth Just Became Easier (and Cheaper) - New York Times
WHEN Carlo Baldassi came home from vacation and looked at a picture he took of his girlfriend on the Charles Bridge in Prague, he was torn. She looked beautiful, but the proportions of the picture were all wrong. It seemed tight and constrained, and it would not fill his widescreen monitor.
Mr. Baldassi may not have an official title of an artist — he studies
computational neuroscience at the Institute for Scientific Interchange
Foundation in Turin, Italy. But he could fix the problem with some
automatic photo-editing software he was writing with several friends.
With one click, the tool stretched the uninteresting parts of the
landscape — the water and the hills — while leaving the face of his
girlfriend just as it was. The result was, he thought, more open and
panoramic.
Check out the photos..the top is before the application...the bottom is after....just amazing...This article has several links that will lead you the applications being discussed.
