Baaaaa
Todays sheep. Mucking around with gimp, sheep & neek. Todays lesson is save the transparent images so you can use them again (saves time - doh!). Added colour this time.
Neek! flickrhack #1
This particular shot is taken with a camera. If you look carefully you can see the angular distortion to the right of the screen. Now I got to thinking about this on satuday and I asked myself a question, 'how does flickr know this particular image is a photo, not a screencap?' as the previous sheep shot is.
This is important because flickr caps screencap numbers for example those who upload SecondLife images. But how do you do this in code?
Well looking through the flick api's I found an api (flickr.photos.getExif - gets 'list of EXIF/TIFF/GPS tags for a given photo') that could allow you to distinguish between an image taken by a camera and an image taken as a screen cap.
So if I imagine if you supply EXIF information of known camera types I to an screencap image the code restricting screencaps to 200 would be skipped over as the code would be thinking the image is taken from a camera and not a screenshot.
