@bagellord: Although DX11 for programmers is a good and moderate thing, for everyone else the best way to think of DirectX is look at earlier versions where big differences were had. DirectX 6-7 were comparable to say N64 and Dreamcast, better but it's a close analogy, and DirectX 9-10 is comparable to Ps2/Wii/Xbox360/PS3.
DirectX 9 wasn't impressive at the start and everyone scoffed at it but eventually it became what gaming is today. So, if DirectX 11+ gets a good boost from Win 7 and the next phase of Console hardware, you'll have a decent leap there as well.
It's all about effects now. Polygons won't get fancier by much until 2-3 generations from now as they do a good enough job at fleshing out things and it's mainly textures and effects that bring everything to life. #directx11
Just because one game, or even several games don't look much different in their dx11 and dx10 modes, it doesn't mean that the potential isn't there and that games won't take advantage of it. dx11 isn't magic and it doesn't just enchant games into better graphics #directx11
Man, and to think my science teacher in 1993 told us we'd have trouble telling truth and fiction in imagery in the near future.
(CGI was yet to DO Jurassic Park, and T2 was only two years old! Coincidentally, T2's T1000 was done with Photoshop 1.0!)
Wise man. Resembled a pink Papa Smurf.

"as the video shows—it works" - ooh there's a video... it must be true!
Are you all kidding me? You really believe this crap?
This is what i do for a living. And i can tell you this is bullshit. I was at Adobe MAX last year and and they where demoing something like this but nowhere near what this says it can do.
And images this thing is supposedly putting together, is impossible. Unless the computer actually has an intelligence of its own. It that case it would be thinking up whole other concept and not just making bad PSs.
I can't believe i'm even giving this much effort to tell you all that your fools.
REALLY? Come on Giz... WTF kind of article is this... sensor yourself please!
@duuktoprock: Really? If you are actually an avid user of photo editing software, as you brag, then you know they have been getting really close to this kind of thing. So why is it such a stretch for you to believe it works? Sure, it probably takes more user interaction that the video showed, choosing the correct images and refining your search, but you know damn well it is able to cut out an image and use an algorithm to decide how to blend. I recommend you try the product before you decide it just doesn't work. Also what was it you were going to tell us about our fools?

I'm having a hard time believing this could be real without getting to try it too. I mean the explanation makes sense but still . . .

I would advise against sensoring oneself without proper medical training.
