New Revamped Google Image Search

Google has recently announced a new feature for its image search. It is being named “Google Search by Image”. Users can now use an image to search the web instead of just using the keywords. Instead of the conventional way of searching through keywords, images will now be used as your search query and the search results will render images similar to your image. If the image being searched is not found or is not as popular as it should be, Google will search for images, similar to the one being searched and display the result.

The algorithm being used here is same as the one used for Google Goggles for mobile. It works like this: First, you submit the image to Google in any of the many ways available (including drag and drop and the regular upload). Now Google’s Image search engine will try and find images related to the image you input.

While testing this feature, we found out that it worked really well without even a single image being identified incorrectly. The search results, as always were very fast.

Let us know in the comments below how did you find the Google’s new image search feature.

HP printer prints inaccurate colors!!

Recently I bought an HP AIO F4488 printer. Text/graphics print quality was nice with decent speeds. Soon I found that most of my printed colors did not match my monitor (calibrated one). They looked less vivid and unnaturally bright. Printer driver settings did not help me so I went to give ICC profiles a shot. Although, they did make prints look better but after trying again and again I realized that it was impossible for me to get a perfect calibration without professional tools. I got very close to the real colors by setting the profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1
