Advanced Search Options in Picasa Web Albums

Posted on by

Picasa Web‘s search feature has been improved and you can now filter search aircraftresults: choose an aspect ratio (landscape, portrait, panorama), select a size (small, medium, large or extra large), filter videos and view the files that are licensed using Creative Commons.

Just click on “show options” to enable the tool belt with advanced filters. The new options can be used to search the public photos uploaded by Picasa Web Albums users, the photos uploaded by your favorite users or your own albums.

Picasa Web Albums indexes tags, captions, album titles, album descriptions, and album locations, but many photos don’t have proper metadata and they’re not searchable.

If you’ve been using Flickr’s advanced search page to find Creative Commons-licensed images, Picasa Web is another place where you can find images that can be reused or modified.

Quicker Flickr browsing with LiteFlick

Posted on by

LiteFlick is a fast way to see the most interesting Flickr photos of the day, liteflickresultand display Flickr search results in a nice-looking layout that makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. It uses a jQuery lightbox plugin so you don’t have to load a Flickr page to see a larger version and a caption of each photo.

Flickr’s search results are great, and very detailed, but all the information they give you makes it tough to browse through pages of results looking for something you’ll know when you see it. That’s what makes LiteFlick’s 10 x 8 grid of photos so useful. You can scan through 80 photos in seconds, and easily get more details when you want them. The crucial feature LiteFlick is missing is a Creative-Commons-only search, which would make finding photos for blog posts a whole lot faster.
