Panoramas. Skyscrapers and Squares?

It’s Friday and to round out the week, we’ve released a small enhancement to Auto Tagging.

Photos traditionally have width to height proportions or ratios of 3x2, 4x3 or 16x9. While these ratios still persist in the digital world, there are many cases where a different ratio is needed.

Today, Panoramic images (we use these for Portal Image Carousels for example), Skyscraper web banners, and Square images (for Instagram™ for example) are 3 commonly used formats (with not your traditional ratios).

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to easily find these assets amongst a sea of 4x3s?

Well thanks to the boffins in the Brandkit labs, we now automatically detect and tag these Assets with Skyscraper, Panorama or Square.

• If an Asset’s width and height are equal, we’ll auto-tag the asset “Square”.
• If an Asset’s dimensions are such that the ratio between the width and height is greater than 2:1 and the width is greater than height, we’ll auto-tag the Asset with “Panorama” … and if the height is greater than width, we’ll auto-tag it with “Skyscraper”.
• Orientation will still be set as Landscape or Portrait as it always has. So you can still search for “Landscape” Assets – then refine with the additional tag of “Panorama”, for example. Obviously, you won’t be able to refine a “Landscape” search with “Skyscraper”.

It’s a small change – but it will make it much easier to find these Assets in ever-growing asset libraries. We think you’ll love it.

Enjoy :)

Panorama, Skyscraper and Square Auto Tagging is already in your Brandkit brand kit and has retrospectively tagged all your existing assets (I’m so happy). You’ll need a Brandkit account obviously. Please contact us if you need help with that :) or visit Brandkit to learn more.
