Project's new website

We present you an updated project website

We redesigned the web app from scratch, refactored existing sections and added new ones

Here below is short tour on what was done

The photopage was changed - the image takes maximum screen's space possible. Under the image - buttons to quickly jump between photos in album (you can use arrow keys as well). On the right side - all known information about the photo.

We updated our database and uploaded high quality images of original photos. High resolution image is available upon click on the image in photo's page

Updated Photo Comparisons

Each comparison has 3 view modes:

  • Interactive - with slider
  • Horizontal
  • Vertical
You can change mode using buttons below the image

You can try it yourself, here are some photo comparisons:
