Sigh...third time today and I only got one karma point for pointing it first. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=862216 if you feel sympathetic :)

EDIT: gee guys, the smiley should tell you this ^ is not a serious complaint. I thought people might actually be interested in reading the actual paper v, since project page link has been inaccessible. Sheesh.

Site is down but this is the Siggraph paper: http://www.ece.nus.edu.sg/stfpage/eletp/Papers/sigasia09_pho...

I have downloaded the binaries (also requires openCV1.1, recently updated OpenCV2.0 doesn't work) and have made some progress, though it's very clunky and the instructions are, um...lacking. http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/ http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/

In today's hypercompetitive world, branding is key. Compare:

"Photorealistic image composition from simple sketches"

vs.

"This Is a Photoshop and It Blew My Mind - Photosketch"

Which one would you rather click on?

The former, obviously. This is why I can't have nice things :-D

And some one said HN doesn't accept sensational headings.

PS: It was in the days I started here. Fair enough, it has been a while.

The one that isn't a PDF.

This guy got downvoted for giving the most informative comment in this thread?

Well, I think he got his karma back now. But yeah, the way some people downvote gives me a funny feeling.

I'm tired of meta-comments. I'd rather discuss the link. I down vote all meta-comments.

Don’t you now have to down vote yourself?

It’s ironic :)

You can downvote our subsequent comments but his original was about the paper that belongs to the article :-)

> the smiley should tell you this ^ is not a serious complaint.

Then why put the link at all?

because it's useful?
