I would like to ask if, and suggest that, the next version of Liquid Rescale will have interactive rescaling? I've seen others writing that Liquid Rescale will have an interactive rescale option — I know it already has somewhat interactivity in 0.6.1 — but, I would like something more like the interactivity in Photoshop.

I know this is a hard task, I just want to know whether the next coming version (0.6.2?) is the version that you might implement truly interactive rescaling.

On that note: When is the next version coming out? Or how close is it to being released?

Also, I would like to know if there is anyway I can "beta test" each version before they are released? All I would need is source code that can be compiled :)

Thank you.

but i am not reporting a bug in the wrong board but giving a good new, the problem was solved thank to my Flickr friend Francois Collard , that build new binary for windows .
I did a quick test, all seems working fine and even faster

At soon i get home i will upload ,and then edit this post to add a download link so you may test and, if you like , add to your download section.

EDIT here http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Gimp-Liquid-Rescale-Windows-103271394 download button is at the left of the illustration

PS Francois send me also a deb package but at the moment i have no clear if is only for Ubuntu or for any Debian (i use only Ubuntu so i can't check)
anyway i will add that link too in a few hours from now so you may have a look

EDIT Deb are here, http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Gimp-Liquid-Rescale-Ubuntu-103281999

As usual follow a full disclaimer, this debs worked fine on Francois and my computer, and are not yet tested by others

Details: Mac OS 10.4.11; Xcode 2.5; PPC G5

I pretty much followed your directions, however:

I had to change the configure line to:

./configure —prefix=/opt/local PKG_CONFIG_PATH=../liblqr-1-0.1.0

where PKG_CONFIG_PATH points to the directory that liblqr was downloaded to (the directory that contains the file "lqr-1.pc")

Works Great!!! Thanks for making this available.

I read of a problem that some implementations of this technique have (YouTube video id b39R8eHyvmw), and I'm wondering if Liquid Rescale has sidestepped this problem, or if it should become a feature request.

Here's the text:
(the video's program appears to not…)
"get hung up in any spots, and continuously remove from the same seams.
I've seen a few people try to write their own image carving before… and they usually make the mistake of 'real time' carving, which generally gets hung up on the same seams over and over.
Do you use the seam ordering method described in the original idea? (Caching seam pixels in order of removal, before removing any seams.)"

My eyeball of one video that may not be of the same program, (I'm not sure, check yt id TDZc3HnKp8o says "yes, this is a problem" but I'm a newb to the whole subject.

It may also only appear to be a problem in the video due to image features (painted line) that make it easy to detect distortions, and the use of the "delete" option may bias/require the lines removed to be near that object for awhile.

I only found a few videos of the Gimp plugin, and none of them in real time like this vid of the original method: vIFCV2spKtg.

And lastly, video questions. It doesn't seem possible yet to use a GIMP plugin with VirtualDub, and it sounds so hard I won't ask. Can this plugin work in batch mode? And, most-highly-speculative-question is, is this technique (find lines of least energy) feasible in reducing video filesize?
