One year ago I had a lot of fun watching Adobe fanboys making snob faces when being told that Seam Carving is already available for GIMP. “Oh well,” — they said — “But we will wait till it’s available for Photoshop”.
Took’em just a year. It seems, Photoshop CS4 will finally feature it.

Carlo is planning a new release later this year that will feature forward energy option from this year’s paper of and, which is even more interesting, basic animation support via GIMP GAP (animation is also a new SIGGRAPH’08 paper’s feature). It’s already in git repo for quite a while.
What I foresee is how many times we now will be told that Adobe was first and we were catching up
