Flashfoto's Smart Crop™ and Smart Compose™ Software Libraries
Smart Crop™ & Smart Compose™ software libraries safely crop photos and automatically place people in photo card templates.
Integreate the libraries in your own software to give your customers a better experience creating photo books, greetingcards, calendars or simple prints.
Can be integrated in any online, client and kiosk systems.
SmartCrop™
Find people in photos and automatically crops images while leaving the people untouched. Images are often shot at one aspect ratio and printed at another. For example, a digital camera will take a picture at 4x3 aspect ratio while most standard printers print at 4x6. This requires that some sort of cropping of the image occurs to fit the image into the print area. Normally an arbitrary area of the image is cut away. With Smart Crop™, the people are automatically protected while unimportant areas of the picture are cropped away!

SmartCompose™
Smart Compose™ identifies people in photos and determines a “safe zone” around that person or group of people. Once it has determined that safe zone, it can then automatically fit that image into any frame while protecting the people from being covered or cropped away. Smart Compose™ also has an internal scoring system that can process a series of frames or templates and determine which frame is the best fit for any given image, maximizing the complimentary shape of a frame and the content of the image. Smart Compose™ speeds up the process of creating photo cards and photo books.
