This site is about a GIMP plugin called Liquid Rescale.
It is a free, open source frontend to the Liquid Rescale Library, which provides an implementation of the Seam Carving algorithm as described in this paper by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir.
The Seam Carving procedure aims at resizing pictures non uniformly while preserving their features, i.e. avoiding distortion of the important parts.
The plugin supports manual feature selection, and can also be used to remove portions of the picture in a consistent way.
Since version 0.6 it also supports real-time interactive scaling.
Have a look at the Examples section to get an idea.
The latest version is 0.6.1, released on February 22nd, 2009.
You can find it in the Download section.
After installation, you will find it under the Layer menu in GIMP.
It requires GIMP 2.4 or newer (the older 0.3.0 version works with GIMP 2.2.13 or newer).
