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.

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.

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...
