How To Find High-Res Versions Of Images Easily (good for finding wallpapers)

[JDBar]

This is my first quick tutorial.

Let's say your browsing around for a cool wallpaper, possibly on one of those "Post your Desktop!" threads or something. Or maybe you have a stock image that is too small, and want to find out if there is a bigger version? Well, there's a really nifty website you can use to do a 'reverse image search.'
---------------------
You're looking at a desktop thread, and see a really sweet thumbnail and want to get the source image.
But oh no! The original poster doesn't have the image file anymore. What to do with this puny image?

(I borrowed this picture from S0rath on this thread.)


This is easy. Just go to http://www.tineye.com/.

You'll see that it looks very similar to Google. You can choose to upload a picture, or to paste a URL.


Copy and paste the desired image URL


When you arive to the results page, you may notice that some results aren't any larger. If you're looking for higher-res pictures, there's an options tab to find the biggest results.


And voila! High-res wallpapers and images just became way easier to find.


Another really good use for this is finding copies of images with watermarks on them. Check it out:
