Features

Non Linear Resizing or Seam Carving

XFile is now implementing the most exciting technique that has been demonstrated at the last Siggraph.. image carving right inside Photoshop or Elements, you can check the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadw0BRKeMk for a full demonstration. With this technique image resizing of the whole image can be made while keeping the size of the most important elements of the picture. The features of the image remain untouched.XFile removes or adds areas to an image that would be least noticed.

See how the area within the red oval has been reduced during the resizing, the bikers have not changed size! This is non linear resizing.

Carve Wiping

The same very sophisticated technique lets you by simply brushing roughly a mask over an area of an image, remove an area and automatically rebuild the pixels missing

Linear Resizing

Most programs including Adobe Photoshop / Elements / PhotoPaint or PaintShop use 'Bilinear' or ‘Bicubic’ interpolation for image resizing. These two main interpolation methods have limits in the amount of resizing you may achieve. Above 200% upsizing this will often result with jagged and blurry stair-step effects.

HumanSoft XFile has been designed as a plug-in for all applications supporting photoshop plug-in (Adobe photoshop 7 to CS3, Photoshop Elements 2 to 6, Corel PhotoPaint, Painter, PaintShop, ULead, MicroSoft Picture or PhotoDraw), and provide several interpolation methods to give the best resizing on the market, among then bilinear, bicubic, mitchell, lanczos and our very own XFile proprietary technique that is giving amazing results.

HumanSoft XFile (unlike some other programs) does not feature any input or ourput file size limitation, it enables you to work directly on RGB or RGB 16Bits images. With HumanSoft XFile a 1000% or more increase in image size is not a problem. Image interpolation methods such as Lanczos or our own proprietary method will lets you also decrease image size while keeping the maximum of details.
