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."

Re:The Difference

[buchner.johannes]

The open source software is good but the commercial software is better.

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

I guess you can generalize that ...
