I wrote a GUI for another seam carving library back in 2009[1], and it looks like although in archive mode, you can still access the source as well as the windows / mac binaries. Just tested it and it still works!

Not as fancy as photoshop I'm sure, but does have the ability to paint a mask of regions to keep / remove to aid the algorithm and get the desired result. Multi-threaded too!

Thanks for that. I used it way back when(mid 2010) to make it look like a a 30' cliff jump was a 60' one. Really impressed my friends with it.
High praise indeed - you know the software is good when you can use it to lie to your friends.
Now that this thread is essentially tially dead, I can let out my little secret - I'm not the bad boy you think I am. I told them thw truth eventually -about 30 seconds after showing them the doctored one. I hope this doesn't change your opinion of me.
That's cool! I tried it, and the app is really nice to use, but the picture still came out looking weird. See my other comment below.
