Here's the paper. http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1276377.1276390

Also got some coverage on an Adobe blog which makes me think they want to duplicate this functionality as soon as possible. http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2007/08/holy_crapworthy.html

PS: This stuff is probably in the process of getting patented. Adobe will have to license it. Few years back Adobe got into a lot of trouble for "stealing" healing brush from one guy. He sued them and I think they settled.

It's just a fantasy, I do Industrial Engineering and it's a truly miserable field. I get to drop out and move to NYC if my company hits 300k revenue next year.
