MODERATORS
Plug for the !ccp@discuss.online community I started to celebrate the creative commons and public domain. I've been posting the wikimedia picture of the day there daily, and other sorts of posts including questions like this are very welcome!
Thanks! Subscribed and posted 👍
I'm interested in giving my old custom 16 color image palette generator a spin again..
always worth checking https://www.photo.net/ … but license may vary
Dang yo, first image I saw there is like a perfect example of a colorful image I'd like to process 👍
https://www.photo.net/gallery/image/5342141-swelljpg/
But how can I find whatever license it is or isn't shared under?
My intent is to render it in my custom 16 color only palette algorithm..
Would an average search engine be enough for your task? Duckduckgo has a filter for license in image search
It could be, and yes, I've used search engines countless times before in my private studies of graphics processing. And yes I realize I can filter by license.
But it seems that many people have likely already seen top search results from search engines (Now with 2026 AI Slop™). I dunno, just figuring I'd ask some actual humans instead of the machine...
