EmployedBiography:
My name is Dave Soderberg, I am from Denver Colorado and currently design full time for Beatport (beatport.com) as well as freelance under my company: Astrel Creative. I work mostly on interactive design in my free time and interface / interactive for my career. Nothing drives me more than design, the process of creating, and the struggle to constantly be inspired. I am a designer who loves to view, encourage and be inspired by other people's work and creativity. I see design as a constant challenge to communicate something / anything to anyone, whether you're communicating a message or trying to create an interface that is not only beautiful to look at but intuitive to even the most recreational user. Read my blog to see what I've been creating, inspired by or thinking about.

Automatic Image Resizing

An all new way of automatically resizing images that uses 'seams' in a photo or image with the least amount of energy. This is pretty incredible, I could definitely see it used on the web... print might still require getting in there by hand though. wow
PS: Mind blowing video production quality : )

yeah - this is pretty much amazing.
I'm always amazed by those incredible algorithms.
But...rescaling a text doesn't change its meaning. What about a picture ?
Ok ok, the last 10 seconds demo, about "erasing a subject", is just
awesome.
tricking pictures... It makes me think about this powerful tool in Blade
Runner that permits to reconstitute hidden or missing parts of a photo...
Awesome, can't wait to see what future image processing software they come up with...
Amazing technology, will be brilliant for web designers cropping images.
unbelievable, when's it gonna ship with photoshop....
quicktime very slow
