TinEye in Israel
Is it 2009 already? How did that happen? Happy to welcome you new year – but hey slow down a little, we need a bit of time to appreciate these first frigid months in Toronto. Don’t know about you folks but we are experiencing some crazy cold weather. Ah but we love it! We are Canadian after all and cold winters don’t scare us. Although when I see TinEye reviews in far far away...
TinEye: now searching 900 million images!

TinEye: Sleuth in Advertising
Camera shopping is hard work. Over the past ten years I’ve purchased three digital cameras, and each purchase was more difficult than the last. Thankfully sites like Digital Photography Review, and Steve’s Digicams have made it easier because the camera companies are not exactly objective. The DSC-T3 viewfinder image is a film-camera stock photo that predates the DSC-T3 by years. One thing...
ars technica reviews TinEye
Jacqui Cheng from ars technica took TinEye for a spin and shared her thoughts on our image search engine, saying: Our opinion of the site transformed from skeptical to impressed as we used it more and more. It’s obviously not meant for casual web browsing or finding out what that crazy animal you saw on the side of the road is. However, if you are trying to keep track of how your creations...

Automatic face replacement? Check!
I had not seen this paper about automatic face replacement to deal with privacy issues for example. […] we present a complete system for automatic face replacement in images. Our system uses a large library of face images created automatically by downloading images from the internet, extracting faces using face detection software, and aligning each extracted face to a common coordinate...
Portfolio building with TinEye
One of the challenges faced by microstock photographers is building a portfolio of images in use. Odds are that once an image is purchased it’s unlikely that the photographer will hear back about how and where that image was used. How do you demonstrate that your work is in demand? What if you just want to show your published work to friends and family? As we’ve heard...
Taking the lead in visual search
Idée and TinEye get a nod from Tom Keenan in ‘Cloud computing a down-to-earth solution’ from last month’s Business Edge. Keenan says “Idée is definitely in the visual search-engine lead.” Yes we are!
