Scaling photos by using Smart Carver

Smart Carver lets you make a photo narrower, wider, shorter, or longer without distorting the content. By automatically detecting and removing zones in the picture that have little structural detail, this feature lets you change the aspect ratio without noticeably changing the image. You can also target a specific zone to remove from the photo, regardless of its level of detail, or preserve specific objects or image areas.

Smart Carver lets you selectively remove or protect areas when you scale an image.
