View Full Version : [SOLVED] Smart photo background stretch, with maintaining aspect ratio in foreground

About a year ago I used a nifty little program (or plugin) that was able to stretch the background of a picture (e.g. nature) while the foreground would keep having the correct aspect ratio (e.g. a person). This program worked really well, but I have lost track of it and am unable to find it.

I hope the description of this program is clear. If you know what the name is of this program/plugin, please let me know!

Not sure, but are you talking about the liquid rescale Gimp plugin?

Thanks earlycj5 and Robert,

It isn't the program that I had in mind, but it does the job perfectly! And, it integrates with Gimp. You made my day! Thanks!

Just curious, was this the app you had used before....
