Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Alternative to Google Images – Using Bing Images for High Quality Photos”.
In this tutorial, I’m gon na show you an alternative to Google Images, and this alternative allows you to download high quality version of images that are online. So for years, many of us have used Google images to download images from the internet that we can use in our school projects or to create slideshows with and many other things. And of course we could just go to images. Google.Com do a search, let’s say for trees. I need some images of trees and it brings up all of these wonderful images. You can even choose tools and limit the results to just images that are labeled for reuse, okay, so these are basically Creative Commons images. They’Re meant to be freely used and notice.
How big these images are. It tells you in the corner four thousand by three thousand: that’s a high quality image, four thousand by twenty two hundred, and some of these others aren’t quite as big, but they still are pretty good quality images and it used to be that you could click on One of these images and then click a button to view the full size version of the image you could then right-click on it and save it to your computer, but that option has disappeared out of Google. Google images is not making it easy to do that anymore. So if I right-click on this smaller image and choose save image as or save picture as I can still download it and save it to my computer once that downloads, it should show up on my desktop and there it is. But if I double click on it notice that this is the small low-quality version of the picture. So let’s look at an alternative to Google images and that is being being is made by Microsoft. It’S quite similar to Google in a lot of ways, but here in being, if I click on images, it lets me do that same search for trees. I can even go here to the right and click filter and I can filter by license-free to share in news even free to share and use commercially. I’M gon na choose that option and let’s say I want to use this particular picture notice. The dimensions.
That’S a pretty big photo if I click on it, Microsoft gives me a bigger version than what Google gives me and if I click on it, it takes me to the full size version of the image and actually sometime, you can see on your mouse cursor a Magnifying glass with a plus sign that means that you can click to make it even bigger in some cases. So this is a very high-quality version of this photo. I’M now gon na right-click on it choose save image as I’ll save it. To my desktop and let’s compare the two images I’ll just go to my desktop now and here they are side by side this one from Google images at the left, this one on the right from being images.
So you can see the difference in the quality. The difference in the size of these images so now I can use this really good image in my school projects or in reports, or things like that. Of course, I should cite my source for this photo and include that in the documentation thanks for watching. I hope you found this video to be helpful if you did.
