Claim One:
1. A system, comprising: one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing program instructions executable by the one or more processors to implement: in response to initiation of a single hybrid resizing operation to be performed on an image: accessing data representing the image; determining a respective energy value for each pixel of the image dependent on a value associated with each pixel; identifying a seam of the image having a lowest cost, wherein the cost of the seam is dependent on the respective energy values of pixels of the seam; performing a resizing operation on the image along the identified seam to produce a resized version of the image, wherein said performing comprises applying a seam carving technique; repeating said identifying and said performing for a next lowest cost seam until a specified portion of the single hybrid resizing operation for the image is achieved by the resized version of the image; and applying a scaling technique to at least a portion of the resized version of the image to produce a further resized version of the image.
