SEARCH

Q.  Why is the search feature not getting exactly what I want?

A.  The search function will place your search in parenthesis.  This means it will search for everything you type, exactly as you type it.  This only exception to this rule is pluralizing.  If you search for Jet, you will receive the same results and you would if you had searched Jets, and Visa-Versa.  If you try to search Nissan Skyline, nothing will appear.  Try to be broader.  Use Skyline only or Nissan only.  Start looking for specifics then broaden your search.  Try The Lord of the Rings, if that doesn’t work try Lord of the Rings.  Also, looking at the keywords will give you a better idea of how to search.

Q.  Can I search for special types of photography?

A.  Yes, the tags provided in the images have taken some forms of photography into account.  Here is a list of all the various types:  BW will search for black and white, stereographic, minimal, colorful, dark, night, bokeh, tilt-shit, gif, detail, night, timelapse.  Try using these keywords or others you can think of with your search.  If we're missing any types of photography, please let us know and we'll work on it for you.

Q.  Why are some wallpapers not showing up in the search?

A.  Some wallpapers are not tagged because they are defined by the category they are placed in.  Let's say, for example, you type city into the search and the site yields only a few results.  Because there is already a category named cityscape there is no reason to tag the images inside the category with the word city, it would be redundant.  The tags we place on the images are only confined by our knowledge, which in some instances is limited.  If you find an image that is not tagged correctly, or not tagged at all (because we didn't know what to call it) please let us know what it should be tagged and we'll fix it.

Q.  How does the "More Like This" feature work?

A.  The "More Like This" feature searches, and will give results based on every keyword associated with that image.  Some images may be one or two keywords, other images may be up to 20 keywords.  If you find the "More Like This" feature's results too broad, try opening the image you're interested in and click on one of the keywords.  This will give you very specific results.

General

Q.  Where do you find your images?

A.  Various places on the internet and user submitted material.  We do not own the copyrights to any of these images except for the few we submit ourselves.  If you find your image on our site and wish it taken down, please contact us at TPWdotcom@gmail.com and we will remove it immediately.  Also, we want to give you the credit for your image.  We will always credit our source if we know where it came from.  Email us and we will add a credit and a link to whatever site you would like to promote your work on.  The information will always show with that wallpaper.

Q.  Why is the wallpaper smaller than the resolution says on my screen?

A.  When you “Click to Expand” the image will enlarge to your screen size and no larger.  This is for people with smaller screens that may not see the entire image or only a fraction of a very large image.  Though it seems smaller than the resolution says, if saved, it will save at the resolution size.

Q.  Why don't you guys have more wallpapers?

A.  Our site has a higher standard than most sites.  We focus on high quality wallpapers.  If an image has massive blurring, noise, pixelation or generally looks like crap, it will not make it on our site.  We personally screen every single image.  While this takes more time than just having a bot grab images, the quality of images is far superior than that of most wallpaper/scrapper sites.  This site was started in late February, 2011 so we're relatively new.  We upload more images daily, even on holidays.

Q.  Why is your site so awesome?

A.  Because it is.
