why is google images so useless to find a good quality version of an image?
 

Hi.
Suppose you encounter an image online and you want to find a good
version of it.

How come google images is such a useless tool when it comes to
finding a good quality version of an image?

Like for instance, if you search for this image via google images:

https://i.imgur.com/QlQtopa.jpg

Google will find countless versions of that image online, but they are all
garbage quality.

Yet, there exist much better quality versions of that image:

How come google isn't able to quickly point you to such quality
versions and comes up with countless pages of useless garbage
versions instead?

Are there any useful tools that actually work to find you a *good* quality version of an image instead of bringing you countless pages of
useless junk?

Kind regards and thanks for feedback on this topic!

General algorithmic criteria and SEO at a guess. I'm not aware that
Google or any other search engine rates images by quality either
technically or critically. The same is true for movies. If you did, for
example, a search on "thrillers movies 2020" you'd find most of the ones
suggested are simply the most promoted. There may also be a backlash
from copyright owners and copyright licensees if the best quality images
always came out top.

Found with Tineye sorted by image size.

it's nothing more than his inability to figure out how to properly do
an image search and then blame it on everything other than his own
ineptness.

they absolutely do, and not just images.

The same is true for movies. If you did, for
example, a search on "thrillers movies 2020" you'd find most of the ones
suggested are simply the most promoted.


that depends on what someone searches for and how easily they give up
and then blame the search engine for not finding what they want.

There may also be a backlash

always came out top.


there was and they lost.

Ah great, at least Tineye provides information about the actual filesize of the images.
That's probably most useful to quickly identify whether images have been artificially
bloated to high-resolution pixel soup.

A thankyou would have been nicer than shifting the goalposts for another
moan.

Isn't the second search result 1920x1080?

The resolution isn't the only aspect that matters for image quality. It should
be pretty obvious if you compare the two versions I've shown in the original
thread at 100% zoomlevel. On the left side you can even make out detail
like the surface texture of the canvas and on the right side is ugly pixel soup.

How would Google (or any other search engine) be able to
automatically detect such a quality difference?

Google provides multiple versions at different sizes, resolutions,& quality from multiple sources if they are available. The quality control for consumer acceptance is left to the viewer’s eyeball. Google doesn’t much care one way, or the other.

Usually if you want a high resolution, good quality image file you are going to have to pay for it, and we all know that “Sobriquet" doesn’t like to pay for anything.
