it uses the sketch to match sizes

color matching isn't that difficult (hell you can do it already with photoshop).

I'll give you that one. The demo ignores that kind of issue ofcourse (again using those optimal sources)
Anyway, just downloaded the binaries (meant for the imageprocessing, not the searching stuff). It requires quite some pre-setup (no demo images as it isn't a demo download), so haven't managed to test it out yet, but will.
But basically speaking, the technology they're speaking of, isn't that far fetched (take a look at photoshop to the quick selection tool, merge that functionality with a crude mask and your already pretty close to the cutting ability)
Again, color matching isn't far fetched either (again, photoshop)
Scaling selections to match the size of another object, not too difficult either.
Finding images on the internet with tags, i believe it already exists
Recognition of shapes in images, not too difficult either, if you consider stuff like tineye exists, or face recognition software.
All in all, this thing is currently a bit overhyped for what it actually is. No biggie in my book. Fun though
If the technology proves stable I wouldn't be suprised to see it in Adobe CS 6, 7 or 8.
Their site is down, hopefully it will be accessible soon.
