Imaging applications today work with linear resizing, so everything within the image changes size proportionally. Xfile 2 does that too with super advanced algorithms and now features a seam carving tool that allows the image to be resized while changing its aspect ratio and keeping important features untouched. It removes or adds areas to an image that would be least noticed. To give users more controls on elements of the image they absolutely want to maintain and the parts they do not really care about, Xfile's Seam Carving features provide an easy-to-use interface to define image areas. Xfile 2 offers a dual set of Protect/Erase masks. Users simply brush on the image to protect an area, or brush to tell Xfile that this area can be carved out during the resizing. Xfile 2 also provides users a preview of the effect an operation will have on an image before they finalize their changes. Xfile 2 is the perfect tool for:
- Professional photographers that need to regularly change the size of their photos while maintaining the best quality
- Digital photographers to change image size while keeping maximum details
- Printers/Repro houses that need to modify image sizes to fit specific documents
- Web designers that increase or decrease image sizes while keeping the maximum details for display
- Hobbyists that may start with small size digital photos to get printable images. Features include:
- Ultra efficient upsizing algorithms for image enlargements
- Several interpolation methods including sophisticated mathematical algorithms (Lanczos/Xfile)
