Alloneword Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Morning all, I have just started watching catfish the tv show and was wondering if anyone knows how to use google image search the way the do, I have tried both .co.yk and .com but can't work out how they do it. The upshot is they import and image into google image search and google will then go and search the net for that image and show you where else it has been posted be it facebokk news site or whatever, it can't go by filename as anyone can change that so it has to be something to do with image size and maybe pixel depth etc, but i'm stupmed.

Mr Grumpy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If you look at the search field on Google Image page there is a camera icon on the far right of the field. Click that and it gives you the option to upload an image from you computer or enter the url of one from the net. Just hit search and away you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Grumpy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've used it a couple of times looking for particular images to send to someone to make into a signature on other forums. It seems to work quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
