Liquid Scale iPhone app due in January.
A new content-aware photo application is currently in development for the iPhone and iPod touch. Liquid Scale will allow users to resize pictures, without deforming or cropping the content, by detecting the most important parts of an image. The application can automatically detect important details, or users can manually define areas they want to persevere. Savoy Software's website includes several examples of how this technology can be used, along with a video of the app in action. Liquid Scale is nearing completion and is anticipated to be released in January 2010.
