This is a nifty resource. I belong to a portfolio site where lots of photographers and artists complain of their stuff existence posted elsewhere. Most of it is harmless, just occasionally somebody finds their art in a Samsung ad or some such. A mailing list I subscribe to shared a resource similar to this merely requested that list subscribers keep it to themselves for the time being, which was bugging me. Now I'm off the claw. :-D

It's actually a human being posing as her. He has sent some pics that I highly doubt she would want floating around (not sure how she feels about non-heterosexuality but it's a lesbian dating site). The poser is sucking a lot of women in for certain.
Is in that location a way to take the photos and try and larn who she is then that she tin can be told what the heck is happening to her photos? I just have photos sent to me via email. If I were in her position, I would want to know.

Interesting web log mail service on the reverse prototype search.

Thanks for the tip. I just did a search on i photograph and unfortunately saw that information technology was misused on multiple sites. One site is in another language and they've watermarked information technology as their own! Very bummed. Have'nt even checked other photos. Whatsoever advice? I think I have to go back and start watermarking.

thanks y'all so much
Amanda
If you don't take a web log and can't utilise the tutorial above (which shows you how to get the URL from a photo on your weblog), you can use a site like Photobucket.com to upload a photo and go the URL.
Anne
Hi Amanda. FYI, there is a pinterest postal service out there (wish I had marked it but I didn't) that uses your earlier and after weight loss pics and when you click on information technology it goes to some weight loss site. Didn't look like anything I accept seen you mention, so you might want to search pinterest if you lot can.
Amanda
Cheers so much for letting me know, Anne! That is exactly what I've been using this tutorial for. I finish up spending a couple hours every nighttime combing through search results and Pinterest posts finding the stolen photos and reporting them to Pinterest. I ordinarily report nearly 150 pins per night! Crazy, isn't it?? If yous ever see one, just send me the URL and I volition study information technology. :)

You always postal service such useful tips Amanda, thank you and so much :o) A quick question though – volition this work if the person, who has downloaded your photo and "recycled" it for their ain use, has renamed the photo? Or will it only work if they re-post the photo with exactly the same proper name/URL that information technology originally came with when you posted it – I hope that makes sense?

Candice
That is astonishing! Cheers again for this actually cool info :o)

This is a nifty resource. I belong to a portfolio site where lots of photographers and artists complain of their stuff existence posted elsewhere. Most of it is harmless, just occasionally somebody finds their art in a Samsung ad or some such. A mailing list I subscribe to shared a resource similar to this merely requested that list subscribers keep it to themselves for the time being, which was bugging me. Now I'm off the claw. :-D
Robert Connor
What a great tip and very prissy site we love i!

Really another not bad way is to direct upload that images to google images search and then look for similar images which are to your. Google images search is pretty powerful and will discover all those images which wait similar without warring about the naming and Y'all volition become all the list of images and places where they are being hosted.

Matt
Unfortunately this won't work in 99% of cases of paradigm theft. This volition but work if the person has shared your epitome to their blog or website. If they right clicked and saved the image like 99% of people do, so upload the image this doesn't work. So it'due south basically useless.

How would yous practice this if you take right click disabled on your blog. Is there another way to get the file location or URL?

PS. The poser/thief has taken this woman's photo and created a simulated FB page as well. I turned it in as a imitation simply it's still upwardly.

Caitlin
Amanda and Kevin,
Can you help? Photos were sent to me (we met on an online dating site) and turns out the person on the site is pretending to be this woman. It's actually a human being posing as her. He has sent some pics that I highly doubt she would want floating around (not sure how she feels about non-heterosexuality but it's a lesbian dating site). The poser is sucking a lot of women in for certain.
Is in that location a way to take the photos and try and larn who she is then that she tin can be told what the heck is happening to her photos? I just have photos sent to me via email. If I were in her position, I would want to know.
I tried on google contrary photograph search with no luck and tineye with no luck.
Cheers for your help.

Since I couldn't attempt it on my blog- I tried it here to run across it in activity- merely I didn't take to copy the image & upload. When I correct clicked- information technology gave me the option in the drop down to just search image in Google. Which then gave me the same page you showed with the results.

Although I as well disabled left click on my images so I may take to get to my web albums to try this out.

Interesting web log mail service on the reverse prototype search. And so, here'south a ane that's stumped me: I've put pretty strict restrictions on my online photos (no correct clicking to copy on my weblog, Flickr and Facebook). Withal, that doesn't stop someone from using my imaging (screen shots circumvent that pretty easily, that's why I've started watermarking my images). Anyhow, I wonder if at that place's a way to search images whose URLs are unsearchable???

do y'all take a tutorial for that?
thanks y'all so much
Amanda
If you don't take a web log and can't utilise the tutorial above (which shows you how to get the URL from a photo on your weblog), you can use a site like Photobucket.com to upload a photo and go the URL.

Hi Amanda. FYI, there is a pinterest postal service out there (wish I had marked it but I didn't) that uses your earlier and after weight loss pics and when you click on information technology it goes to some weight loss site. Didn't look like anything I accept seen you mention, so you might want to search pinterest if you lot can.
Amanda

I finish up spending a couple hours every nighttime combing through search results and Pinterest posts finding the stolen photos and reporting them to Pinterest. I ordinarily report nearly 150 pins per night! Crazy, isn't it?? If yous ever see one, just send me the URL and I volition study information technology. :)

cynthia y
Hmm I don't know why its not working. This is the only way I await upwards images and have never had an effect. I do use Google Chrome mostly and never on a MAC. But I think I accept gotten to work on IE and FireFox. I volition endeavour to figure information technology out for ya.

A quick question though – volition this work if the person, who has downloaded your photo and "recycled" it for their ain use, has renamed the photo? Or will it only work if they re-post the photo with exactly the same proper name/URL that information technology originally came with when you posted it – I hope that makes sense?

Candice
That is astonishing! Cheers again for this actually cool info :o)
