Rsizr : Lets you intelligently resize your images

Rsizr is a Flash application that lets you resize JPG, PNG, and GIF images on your computer. With rsizr, in addition to normal image rescaling and cropping, you can also resize images using a new image resizing algorithm called seam carving (a method of image retargeting) that tries to keep intact areas in your image that are richer in detail.

When you first come to rsizr.com, you will see a large folder icon in the center of the window. Click on this icon and a file browser will pop up. Choose any JPG, PNG, or GIF image from your computer and open it. Due to restrictions in Flash, neither the image width or height can exceed 2880 pixels.

Seam carving
is a brilliant image resizing technique pioneered by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir. For their rockstar YouTube video and paper, click here.

swfIR - SWF Image Replacement with style

The swfIR has put together a handy widget for styling images in your site. The library utilitizes JavaScript and Flash to produce a variety of image effects like shadows, rounded corners (with or without borders), rotation, and borders.

swfIR (swf Image Replacement) is here to solve some of the design limitations of the standard HTML image and its widely-accepted associated CSS values, while still supporting standards-based design concepts. Using the dark arts of JavaScript and Flash, swfIR gives you the ability to apply an assortment of visual effects to any or all images on your website. Through progressive enhancement, it looks through your page and can easily add some new flavor to standard image styling.

When you start to use swfIR, you’ll need the ability to style it, the same way that you can do with regular images. To get around browser inconsistencies, swfIR adds a with a class of swfir around any image you’re replacing.

There are some issues with swfIR that the creators make us aware of, and they are:

  • Resizing/zooming in Opera crashes the browser
  • Flash of unstyled content: images load first before JavaScript replaces them
  • alt text is not preserved upon replacement
  • HTML right-click options are disabled
  • Incompatible with other JS libraries like Prototype or MooTools
  • Doesn’t work with hot-linked images because of security restrictions in Flash
