So, I've been using the various image search engines we explored in BIT 330 over the last few days and thought that I would create a table to compare a handful of engines on their search features.
| Image Search Engines | ||||
| Search by | Google Images | Ask Images | Yahoo Images | Exalead Images |
| Size | x | x | x | x |
| File Type | x | x | ||
| Color | x | x | x | |
| Content (faces) | x | x | ||
| Orientation | x | |||
It seems the engine that provides the best package of search features is Exalead Images. The service also allows you to save your images on a free a online account; making it an all around winner in image search.
Using Tineye
I’ve also found Tineye to be a great tool. I do a little bit of graphic design work every now and then and am always in need of high quality photos. Most the time I use stock photography (StockXchng is my favorite), but I can never find product logos. For example, this weekend I was designing a postcard for a local retailer and could not find a decent Rocky Brands logo. I could find a really bad one on Google Images, so I put it into TinEye and, like magic, I had what I needed.
For the Project
I’ve also decided that the homepage of my project needed more (and better) pictures. FYI, I searched for [Biofuels], [Geothermal Power], [Solar Energy], [Wind Energy], [Hydroelectric Power] and [Nuclear Energy] (respectively) in Exalead Images and Google Images.
