Finding your images via Google's new photo search

posted on 15th of june, 2011

I'm not sure if people already know this but google has introduced a new drag your photo and search option in images.google.com. Seems to work pretty good. Try it out and see if you can find your images online. Cheers. Below is a video of how it works.

	Posted by Pablorock on May 10, 2012 Nice. I just found one on my first try (and another with the watermark that I am reporting now).
	Posted by Peanutroaster on November 09, 2011 I would think it would be easy for Google to display copyright information along with the images.
	Posted by Place4design on July 04, 2011 Thank you for sharing :)
	Posted by Hunor83 on June 29, 2011 Thank you for sharing!!!
	Posted by Tan510jomast on June 24, 2011 Never had any luck with either Tineye or this one. All I keep getting is my own portfolios with the agencies .
	Posted by Cglightning on June 24, 2011 Thank you for this great tip! ;o)
	Posted by Usalizard43 on June 22, 2011 what do you copy and paste to find out this info and where do you get it from on dreamstime?
	Posted by Grafvision on June 22, 2011 Thanks for sharing! Cool!
	Posted by Preckas on June 21, 2011 I just tested it!!! So happy to see some of my photos in some major sites!!! :)))))
	Posted by Driley on June 21, 2011 Nice! I still like the TinEye plugin for firefox. Tineye has found more of my images in use than Google did.....but then Google found one that Tineye didn't :-)
	Posted by Syamin on June 20, 2011 Good point Ariealmartin. Ive found a few of mine being used with DTs watermark and contacted support as well. If every member uses this tool, definitely can reduce the incidence of misuse of DTs photos. This matter also discussed in thread under Day dreaming/Images used without permission.
	Posted by Cristalloid on June 20, 2011 Amazing, how many images are used illegally....

	Posted by Leguaan on June 20, 2011 Debspoons, thanks, I'll do that! This article has just pretty much answered all my questions about licencing: http://www.pixiq.com/article/photo-licencing-and-the-law
	Posted by Debspoons on June 18, 2011 Leguaan, I would contact to support..to see if you sold/signed over your copyright on that photo.
	Posted by Debspoons on June 18, 2011 I read a couple of articles, that a photographer's photo had their copyright removed from the photo..Is it possible on DT? I also read somewhere that a company, like Dreamstime ?, can embed a code to track down illegal copies.
	Posted by Diver721 on June 18, 2011 This is great, but when I search for mine I only get my Dreamstime images. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I don't have any that are on the web and they're all in something like documents, brochures, etc and other items. Hummm
	Posted by Hotmidhun on June 18, 2011 This was great. I have never found anything similar with such high accuracy levels. Hats off to Google..
	Posted by Hotmidhun on June 17, 2011 Let me give it a try and I will shortly leave my feedback..
	Posted by Hamik on June 17, 2011 Thanks for your tip ! I found via this google search engine two my images !!!
	Posted by Leguaan on June 17, 2011 Just curious, I found one of my pictures online using google image search... Can the person who purchased it claim copyright? This is the original picture http://www.dreamstime.com/stock-image-globe-at-north-cape-nordkapp-image6544431 and this is the application with copyright under the picture... http://www.captainschoice.com.au/Tour%20Photo%20Gallery?id=OzVywl5XME2vbqnXSrlJWA They purchased the photo royalty free...
	Posted by Heathse on June 17, 2011 This is brilliant! It took less than 1 minute to find one of my images!¬ Thank you!!!
	Posted by Vwimage on June 17, 2011 Thanks for the great insight. I've just found one of mine plus another 4 from other DT contributors on a car site all with the DT logo still attached. Will contact support. Hopefully I'll find some of mine being used legitimately.

	Posted by Arielmartin on June 16, 2011 Thanks for sharing! I found several of my images, some used without permission - they have DT's watermark on them. I've already contacted support about this. Still I'm happy to se my images in use!
	Posted by Nero67 on June 16, 2011 Thank you for sharing!!!
	Posted by Onime on June 16, 2011 great info. very useful. thanks for sharing.
	Posted by Lauriey on June 16, 2011 Found some, thanks! I also found one that still had the DT watermark, so I assume stolen!
	Posted by Severas on June 16, 2011 Thank you for sharing!
	Posted by Retina2020 on June 16, 2011 Thanks Rolmat for the advice about the browser extension. Haven't tried it myself yet but seems like a great way of search your most popular images quickly.
