GIMP Resynth vs. Photoshop Content Aware
aylons writes "Just after Adobe released videos showing off the content-aware feature of Photoshop CS5, the GIMP community answered by showing the resynthesizer plugin, which has been available for some time and can do a similar job. However, are they really comparable? (In original Portuguese, but really, the images are pretty much self-explaining.) Compare them side by side removing the same objects from different kinds of images. Results do vary, but the most interesting part may be seeing the different results and trying to understand the logic of each algorithm."

I was going to say this is NSFW, but on closer inspection, I just don't know what to say.

A picture is worth a thousand breasts!
Seriously, it's a very useful tool to get the gist of things.
More amusingly, it come up with gems like this, (FTA):
The circus is armed: who is better at cutting the world?
Look, it's clearly a case of the open source community failing to innovate and just copying the competition. They're getting so desperate now that they even resorting to copying features from propriety software a couple of years before they appear..
Well, that would be because you do printing in the physical world and not in the plane of platonic perfection where, apparently, all of the GIMP print jobs get sent to (I assume this since I have never seen, in 15 years in the biz, an actual print job made with GIMP). A cloud-filled wonderland where 4-color separations happen by magic, trapping is done for free by dedicated itinerant monks (trappists... get it?) and fluffy bunnies pre-flight your print jobs while you drink frothy mugs filled from the free-as-in-beer trees.
It's the classic OSS answer to missing features: "Who needs it?"
Insanity is the last line of defence for the master diplomat. But you have to lay the groundwork early.
Do you mean, a situation like this: http://pictures.todaysbigthing.com/2010/04/16 ?
