I was just curious how people go about finding out if someone has used your images. Do you check everything one by one via the google image finder or is there a batch program out there for checking multiple images? I would quite like to see if any of my photographs have been used for anything but the thought of checking each and every one on google makes my head spin! :thinking:
 
I'd be interested in this too, I know you can search for single images using google image search and tinyeye but if there was a bulk engine to return results that would be great.

I'm not sure that thread really answers the OP's question John.

It does if you read more than the first few posts, from about #21 onwards there's discussion on how to find images.

It seems there's no real easy was to search for a large batch, that's a shame really! Would have been nice to drop hundreds of small images into a folder and hit a big button lol. Ah well, if I get bored one night I might have a wee search using the google image finder. Cheers for the replies.
 
TinEye have a browser plugin that at least lets you right click on one of your images on, say, Flickr to have it search. May be a bit quicker than copying and pasting the URL each time.

Shame you can't just give it your Flickr login details though and send it away to search for all (in my case), 22,447 images!

I stumbled across one recently :D and can't remember where :bang:
 
Im still waiting on 14 different wallpaper sites to take down one of my images that has been sold/given away all over the net.
Initially I found out by putting the image through Tineye but have discovered others sites that didnt show up there, after I found the image had been given the name 'Charming Girl With Mask'.
So, its worth Googling the title of an image too if you have one (though I never gave mine the above name).

It seems as fast as I get my image removed from somewhere, I discover it somewhere else :-(
