The controversial art of Image Retargeting: "Wouldn’t it be useful if you could make images smaller by selectively removing the least important pixels?"

The results, however, aren't far removed from techniques that have gotten professional photographers fired.

Damn. I somehow missed it after reading through recent posts, and my search missed it.

I've flagged myself as a double post. Apologies!

Photographers aren't fired for removing pixels. They are fired for removing pixels but claiming not to have done so.
