On: Content-aware image resizing in JavaScript

[fireattack]

Totally unrelated to this great project, but I'm curious: do people really use content-aware resizing feature in practice?

I use Photoshop frequently, and I use content-aware removal A LOT (super handy). But it never occured to me, not even once, that I need to use the content-aware resizing despite it's there for years. If I really need to change the ratio of an image/photo I usually just crop.

Yes, I use it daily. Here is my project:

I am using this content aware image resizing library, which is used for: "Face detection to avoid face deformation."

Now that I am aware it exists, I can use it for blog headers where I'd like to maintain the same ratio, this would be needed for images that have details around the edges I don't want to lose.
