Feature Request: Vector Resize Tool for Raster Image


Recommended Posts

I would like to be able to take a regular raster image of something and trace a vector path around it then use those mathematical curves to resize or reshape the raster image.

A simple example might be

  1. take a circular picture of the Earth
  2. draw a circle path to match up with the edge of the globe
  3. lock the path to the image
  4. then resize it into an oval or even a square or diamond by moving the nodes or changing the control handles.

More advanced example might be outlining a head or animal and then being able to stretch it or reshape a section like an ear with better control over which sections get stretched and resized.

The resizing method of the raster space could be definable with normal bicubic or even seam carving options. I imagine the hard part would be figuring out how to lock the image to a vector shape so the right sections of the rasterized image gets changed when you move a handle or node.
