Digital image auto-resizing

A method for auto-resizing an original digital image from an original image to a resized image. The method comprises separating the foreground elements from the background elements, determining an original aspect ratio of the foreground elements and creating resized foreground elements by scaling the foreground elements while maintaining the original aspect ratio. The method further comprises creating resized background elements by stretching or shrinking the background elements to fit the dimensions of the resized image and repositioning the resized foreground and background elements on the resized image while maintaining the design intention of the original image.
