Landspace/portrait as a search filter

Post by DoomTay »

It should be possible to search only for landscape, portrait, or square images. This can help if you're looking for, say, game CG or posters.

I don't think it would have to be manually added to older images. It could be automatically added based on which dimension is bigger.

You got the dimensions thing in the Adv. Search.
Landscape? Well... There's always the scenic tag.

isn't the dimensions thing for images with the exact same dimension? that wouldn't help much if you're looking for landscape/portrait images in general and not something with a specific size

the scenic tag is for images with more background than character in it. it doesn't mean the image is in landscape position ^^;

Scenic still covers it.

Your dimensions.

Landscape doesn't mean there's a landscape in the picture, DoomTay is talking about image positions. This depends on which side of the image is larger, which is what he meant by automatically seeing which dimension (or side of the image) is larger: if the top and bottom sides are longer the image is in landscape position, if the left and right sides are longer it is portrait and if all four are the same size it's a square image.

If you're referring to http://i.imgur.com/g0Nez.png, as RockRabbit said, that doesn't exactly fit the bill.

See, I could tell it to look for images greater than 640 x480, and I'd still get portrait-oriented images

That would still cause problems, since not all images are , say, 1280 pixels wide. What if I want to look for images of such proportion, but is something wildly different form a width of 1280?
