rui_mac Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 This is a very useful feature. Will we get this in the future? anonymized2 and yenn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted January 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 6, 2016 Arguably, it's a very useful feature that only works well with very carefully chosen example images.

rui_mac Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yes, but having the ability to use masks to identify the important elements, adds more power to this.Photoshop has it nicely implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian23 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Please do not spend time on that - there is so much missing still, i.e. non destructive perspective correction of layers which could be used to manually do effects like the above.

rui_mac Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 That is why I didn't asked for it to be implemented and merely asked if it would be implemented, eventually, in the future ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattNava Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Content aware scaling is actually a really great feature. The examples in the first post are extreme, but it is actually great for doing subtle stretches on a wide range of images to make them fit different aspect ratios. I also use content aware scaling to extend paintings or textures all the time. I've just recently started playing with Affinity Photo in the hopes of ditching photoshop completely, and this feature really is one of the only must-haves that is missing for me. Please consider implementing this! It really is an impressive and useful tool. I'm loving Affinity Photo so far, great job and thank you very much!

paristo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It isn't a "content aware scaling" but a "liquid rescale". www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sb1EajhYS8 A "content aware" is a method where new data is created by searching surroundings. A "liquid rescale" is a method where the existing data is stretched or shrinked like a water would split from cup on flat surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattNava Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Cool, thanks for the clarification. It seems the feature is called content aware scale in photoshop, and liquid scale in gimp, I think.

MattNava Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Wow that is a pretty cool process video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymized2 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 this content aware feature would be more usefull added as a crop tool option. It can work in conjunction with the Straighten image tool to fill the areas resulted after picture get rotated. Also it kinda works in photohsop because it has further options like "Protect" and because it works with selections. Damn Gimp also has this ?

Claireika Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Whatever you call it a function similar to Photoshops content aware scaling would be most welcomed by me anyway. It is a hugely useful tool for digital artists or anyone using photo-manipulation techniques. I have often used it when manipulating photos for professional photographers who have a problem with a composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNTX Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 So, there is still no content aware scaling in Affinity Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelstuff Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Still trying to figure out how to do content aware scaling in Affinity Photo. Is this still on the back burner of development? Or is it named something I can't decipher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
