GIMP Resynth vs. Photoshop Content Aware

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the in-this-corner dept.

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."

  1. The Difference by dunezone · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The GIMP plug-in is good but the photoshop feature is better.

    The difference is that the GIMP plug-in will do a relatively good job but will require a decent amount of time to do the manual fixes and touch-ups. While the Photoshop feature does a better job and you save time in the manual fixes and touch-ups portion.

    Wait till you hear from pseudo-professionals who would trash GIMP at any given opportunity. Clearly, GIMP was ahead of PS on this so called revolutionary concept, but nobody made a big fuss about it. And then hell broke loose when PS announced it - the earlier thread on it was full of multiple orgasms by the same 'professionals'.

    Suddenly I am reminded of Opera and FireFox.
