Title: New mass image search software - Ginipic
Post by: leaf on February 24, 2009, 13:04

I just came across this mass image search software called ginipic.  It is a software program you install on your computer - type in a search term and it brings up the results.  It search a boat load of sources from the net and your own computer.... most importantly for us, it searches Dreamstime, Fotolia and StockXpert but it also does the non stock sites like photobucket, facebook, google, deviantart.. etc. etc.

It doesn't act like TinEye, as it seems you have to speficy the sites it searches.  Am I wrong?

yes, ginipic and tineye are two totally different things.

Tineye searches for images based on how an image looks, and is useful for tracking down uses of an image.

Ginipic is a simple keyword search for images, the novelty being it searches a ton of sites.
