I wrote this: https://github.com/jftuga/photo_id_resizer

    This program is used to resize large photo ID images. When image resizing occurs, a content aware image resizing library is used with its face detection algorithm to avoid face deformation.

honest question: why is this needed? I would have thought that when downsizing an image, most programs would (should?) use bicubic interpolation to give a pretty accurate downsampled version of the image.

This shows an example of what can happen when you perform a basic resizing of faces. You will notice the distortion when this library is not used. When I had to resize 40,0000 photos, I noticed better visual outcomes when using this library for my testing set of photos.

A screenshot or example would help. Interesting idea.
