How can I search for only hires images?

Grimple

There seems to be no way to search for only those images diplayed in "Original" format. Often when I do a search, I only want the large ones. The new "Refine results" option doesn't do this (as it selects on the actual image size, not the displayed version)

Thanks

I don't think there's really a way to do this. In fact, I really wouldn't want it since people could easily abuse this to steal images.

Hi Grimple,

I am sorry, but there is not a way to search and sort by available display size.

But photographers can easily select the option in their albums to prevent people saving the image. It's a bit of scripting, or something

You can't ever protect an image from being saved. If it's able to be viewed in the browser, it can be saved--either directly or by screen capture.

SM allows a photographer to limit the maximum size viewed. Right-click protection is a quick bit of javascript that merely is a slight deterrant. An obvious watermark and limiting sizes is the only real deterrant--and yet, the facebook clowns will steal something any ways they can.
