Hi Per-BKWine,

Thanks for your comment. We certainly want to provide our users with automated TinEye searching in the future. But in order to provide great results for such a service, we need to grow our index. So acquiring the images and image collections to do that is the first step!

Also there is another side to the TinEye coin that is of use to photographers. It allows others–who are interested in using your image or finding out more about it–to find you. For example if someone finds an image online with great style, subject-matter, colors, etc., they can use TinEye to find out who created the image, or see other images from the same portfolio.

This is about attribution to the original author and it is an important first step towards creating a registry of professional images.

So please hold on as there is more to come!

Florent: we will be doing that too. At the moment we are focusing on ingesting large image collections. Next will be individual galleries including of course Flickr galleries. Thanks for dropping by.

That is a very good idea. However, it is very unclear how this will be useful for the photographers in question. Example: I use Photoshelter, so the images I have there are, I would assumed, catalogued by TinEye. But what good does that do me?

I have currently 6000 images on Photshelter and will soon double that. I can hardly go through that manually to see on which of those images I get a hit on TinEye…

There needs to be some more automated way of reporting on images found from collections.
