Alongside other changes being programmed at present, is the incidental intended extension of the current search options parameter for orientation, to a larger list of somewhat similar choices, involving choice between:

All
Landscape
Portrait
Panorama (horizontal)
Panorama (vertical)

Quite a number of customers over the last year have asked for help with finding images, where the availability of these 2 extra categories would make this a much easier process.

Can anyone help with a definition of when an image starts being Panorama either in terms of official pixel width to height ratio, or some similar official or rule of thumb measure? Also is there an official term for Vertical Panoramas?

any help would be appreciated.

Full frame images taken with standard aspect ratios 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 5:3, 5:4 should all definitely be regarded as Landscape. The 'widest' of these is the 16:9. Panorama seems to be somewhat wider than this again however, so perhaps we will use the only semi-relevant standard - the APS-P which shows Panorama as 3:1.

Any better ideas let us know.

My understanding of it is this: 16:9 is broadcast widescreen (16:9 FHA) Panorama is 12:6 or a 2:1 ratio witch is super-wide.

Thanks - it is not too late to adjust to 2:1 as the commencement point, which will obviously include 3:1 and all wider cases too.

Similarly for taller, 1:2 as the commencement point.

Much appreciated.
