Deep 1.0 image search

Ironic Software has released the first version of Deep, an image search utility for Macs. The software lets users retrieve images based on various criteria, but primarily color, a feature meant to aid web and graphic designers. Users pick a color from a website or anywhere else on a Mac, and the program will attempt to retrieve as many images as possible with a matching shade. A more complex option is the Genius search, which finds files with a palette similar to the one in a sample image.

More conventional search choices include resolution, aspect ratio, tags and keywords. The app supports filtering by image type, and search locations can include e-mail attachments and iPhoto libraries. Deep runs on Intel Macs with Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and costs $34.
