    I can’t get a picture to load. The file dialog works fine, but the screen stays blank. I’m using Flash v.9.0.48.0.0ubuntu11 and Firefox v.2.0.0.6+2-0ubuntu4.

    Hi there Wolfger, thanks for (trying to) take a look at the site. Haven’t tested the site in Linux yet — can anyone else confirm whether or not the site breaks in Linux?

    1. Your page loads unbelievably fast, considering that it’s a Flash site and I am accesing you from the Philippines on OTA broadband
    2. Sample image uploaded and features are fast as well
    3. I hope you maintain it that way even if you become swapped with users of your site
    4. Overall a very good and efficient site…(so far).

    Wow, thank you so much for the useful information. This is incredibly helpful. Thank DreamHost for the amazing connection across the Pacific. Actually I’ve been able to get > 60 KB/sec from servers in China. Looking at the server logs, it appears some people are getting rates as fast as 300-400 KB/sec. Not bad.

    Most welcome. I forgot to indicate my platform, too, using, again, testmy.net:
    User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/419.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3
    It helps to get decent, sustained speeds at this hour (2:46 am). Our internet connections are spotty, although some can go way faster than I, while some can be crawlers at best.

    Cheers!

    […] by wolfger on September 29th, 2007 I got a comment on my last post pointing me to a flash-based site that allows you to alter your images with (it sounds like) greater control than the Gimp […]

    I’ve tried now with two other browsers (still Linux), and the results are even worse. Konqueror 3.5.6 crashes outright when I “click to open”. Opera 9.23 gets into the file dialog and hangs when I double-click on a picture or when I press “OK” to load the picture.

  • 8 Will // Sep 30, 2007 at 12:14 am

    Thanks Wolfger we’ll do some Linux testing to see if we can reproduce what you’re seeing.

  • 9 Will // Sep 30, 2007 at 1:04 am

    Do any Linux users have the beta Flash 9 plugin installed? (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html) Curious whether or not the site works with this version (9,0,60,0 I think)

  • 10 Badsra // Sep 30, 2007 at 10:07 am

    I’ve been very impressed with Seam Carving ever since I first heard of the service. Great to know it’s now available to the public (for free!). So far I’ve written three posts about this on my blog :)

  • 11 Will // Sep 30, 2007 at 10:25 am

    Thanks :-D We hope to make the tool as useful as possible for image editing, so if you have suggestions, let us know.

    Video Screencast of Rsizr in Action

    Brilliant! I love this web application for its simplicity and the end result is just amazing.

    I did a quick little screen-cast of rsizr in action over at my blog:

    Wolfger: Looks like there are bugs in the release version of the Flash 9 player for Linux. We got the 9,0,60,184 prerelease version working without hitch. Let me know if you continue to have trouble with rsizr on Linux. Thanks for helping us identify the problem.

    ‘Hey honey, I shrunk my pictures’ you see the blockbuster coming, don’t you?

    Fabulous application and an invaluable tool for visual-tinkerers. Magic starts that way…

    However, I’m funning Firefox (on a Vista System) and seem unable to save the carved picture in jpg format in the picture folder.

    Under ‘properties’ the only file association is ‘file’ (not JEPG). Furthermore, saved pictures create a blank thumbnail in the picture folder.

    Anybody else running into the same problem? Any solution??

  • 15 Will // Oct 2, 2007 at 9:05 am

    Hey Dreas, I don’t know about a blockbuster, maybe in a few versions… :)

    We’re unable to replicate the problem using Firefox on Vista. Maybe you’re using an older version of Flash? rsizr needs 9.0.45 for everything to work right.

  • 16 Dreas // Oct 3, 2007 at 1:16 am

    Just for the record. To resolve the above query Add .jpeg to the filename, either when choosing where to save, or after it’s downloaded.

    Vista does not automatically create a file association.

    Hope it helps.

    huh..hard to edut friendster profile..who help me..

  • 19 Even // Jul 21, 2008 at 4:14 am

    I have accomplished the algorithm using C++,but the program’s speed is much slower than yours. The program calculate every pixel’s enegy after every time when I remove a seam ,but it seems that you take another way to save time. I wonder how you did that. Hope to hear from you soon.

This test involves pumping fluid into the penis and measuring the pressure in the corpus cavernosum during an erection. This test will help establish how severe the venous leak is.Corpus Cavernosometry This is another test of venous leakage that involves infusing saline into the corpus cavernosum. The flow rate needed to maintain an erection indicates the degree of venous leakage. The leaking veins responsible may be visualised by infusing a mixture of saline and x ray contrast medium and performing a cavernosogram.

The authors declare no conflicting financial interests. If one can naturally engage in behaviors that increase blood flow to the penis, it will have a positive effect in preventing erectile dysfunction, Sadeghi-Nejad said.
