Collect large images for specified resolutions

[dhowe]

Collect large climate images for the specified resolution ratios: 4:3, 3:4, 32:9, 9:32, 2:1, 1:2

Target min sizes:
4:3 -> 960x720
2:1 -> 1000x500
32:9 -> 1920x540

Name them with the credit for the photographer and the dimensions: e.g., 'ChristopherFurlong_GettyImages_960x720.png'

Then place them in the correct folder for the ratio:

I have placed some images to start with in the 'unclassified' folder (shown above):

• calculate the resolution ratio
• can adjust slightly (<10%) via cropping
• update the image name with file size (see above)
• move the image inside the correct folder for its ratio (or to 'nomatch' if none)

If the image is not already tagged with a credit, do a quick search for the image name online. If still not found, append '_nc' (for 'needs credit') to its name

I just sync this branch with main and update the folder name "2x3" and "3x2" to "4x3" and "3x4"
@StevenZhou01 just in case, please pull when you start classify the images...

@StevenZhou01 status of this?

[StevenZhou01]

I am done the organizing work on last Sunday. Currently, since "3x2" and "2x3" were changed to "4x3" and "3x4", the photos with "3x2" or "2x3" ratios are put in "nomatch" file. Other photos in "nomatch" file are either in different ratios or hard to be cropped or adjusted. If more photos are needed, please let me know.

If you run out of other tickets, you can continue with images here. Please pay attention to how well they work with text overlayed.

note also that you can search via google for general aspect ratios of images, by using 'advanced image search': https://www.google.co.uk/advanced_image_search

One more thing...
if possible, convert all images to jpg or png format before adding them. formats like webp might cause issues on chrome
Thx!

Edit------------------------------------
also no jpeg, and pls also avoid special characters like : and (space) in the file name if possible

[StevenZhou01]

Okay! I will convert the old photos into the suitable formats.

[Real-John-Cheung]

During testing I noticed that some images like JamesBalog6_1120x700.jpeg have pure color backgrounds, not sure if it is intended.

Needs to be cropped

[StevenZhou01]

Should I crop them now or later?
I mean for categorizing photos

[dhowe]

how many photos have borders like this? should be very infrequent...
if < 10, can crop now

[StevenZhou01]

Yes it's not. Then I will crop it.

[StevenZhou01]

There is one thing that needs to notice. Some photos may have a very strict copyright policy, such as those from the National Geographic. Although you can download them from google, the website actually blocks you to download them if you click on the website.

@StevenZhou01 hey Steven, when adding images in the future, use x (the 24th letter) instead of × (/u00D7) in the file name. You can use this regex to check /([A-Za-z_0-9-]+\.(png|jpg))/, thanks

Okay, will do!

[StevenZhou01]

Now each folder should have some photos, but generally 9x32 photos are fewer and harder to find on the internet.

[dhowe]

thanks, lets put this on hold for now
