That's a useful algorithm for resizing some photos.

Just wait till they start doing that with video. Soon will come the day when video imagery will be totally unreliable as proof of anything.

Toyota and Ratchet & Clank have been pushing that boundary for a while.

Interesting, but I doubt it will work that well on pictures that have not been prepped extensively.

Doesn't seem that useful either.

Reminds me of how Pixar made two versions of Bug's Life to compensate for the 4:3 fullscreen version.

The actually rendered two versions of many scenes, so they would fit better.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Why didn't they do what most filmmakers do and use 4:3, 1.85:1, 16:10 and 2:35.1 overlay guides on their virtual camera and crop/letterbox the 4:3 output?

You really can't imagine the benefit?

Here's a quick sample of what they did and why.

Widescreen-o-Rama! All About Aspect Ratios (scroll down a bit)
