Cryptoprocta Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Three UKNS just popped in, and as usual, I tried right clicking on each one on its file page to try to find the in-use, but the only option I can get is to 'save the preview'. I can right click on images from other sites, and even those in the forum and get that option and many others - is this a new policy to prevent reverse-searching? Reason? Or just a conflict with Chrome? Oh, maybe it's a way to stop potential buyers checking to see if a file can be bought more cheaply elsewhere. Just realised.

I was able to reverse search this morning (had a sale on another site), and all my Alamy stuff showed up....this afternoon when I went to look again, it was gone.

Bryan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I noticed this problem when trying to upload a recent sale image. Katie pointed out that you can copy the image address from the HTML version of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It doesn't seem to work, as it did before, from the views you get from your dashboard. Log out and use large thumbnails in an advanced search instead. (Using the Search by Image Extension - the small blue camera below or right click). Tineye seems to work also.

Katie Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I guess it's probably to make it harder to steal the watermarked images, although some of the people that do that (like meme makers) are savvy enough to know you can just get it from inspecting the page, you can never completely hide the url. The other possibility is that it's to make it easier to do it on mobile devices, as I'd assume more and more clients are buying images from mobile. It does have the side effect of making things more inconvenient for photographers, too. It'd be nice to be able to view the bigger zoom/bigger version in AIM to offset this.

I cannot see any point in it at all, all you have to do to steal the image is click on the 'save preview image' tab that appears and you have it.

NYCat Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 ?¿src-img hasn't been working for me for a while. Anything I can do about that? Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpg Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I can no longer do Google reverse image search from the image web page as well, but the following worked for me: Click, hold and move the image next to your browser tabs. This will open a new tab with only that picture and when you right-click you get the usual menu with 'Search Google for image' option. I use Chrome browser.

Paulette The same for me Paulette, it stopped working a few weeks ago, I was hoping it would appear back and that it was being worked on behind the scenes. It's happened before but I don't remember waiting this long for it to be up and running again. It is/was my favourite image search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ashmore Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I find it works from smaller thumbnail sized images in my 'Sales History'. As suggested in the original post, this could very well be an intentional change on Alamy's part to make it more difficult for buyers to find their pictures cheaper elsewhere. If this is the case, then I welcome the change. It does, however, also work from "thumbnails" seen in Alamy search results (for me at least). And if that doesn't work, assuming that you have the original image and really want do a Google search, you can always visit https://images.google.com/ and upload the original file the long winded way.

Calum Dickson Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 If you use Jim Kiers lightroom plugin you can still use ?¿src-img . Just do a fetch alamy data and it will build a log of what you have selected as an html page, and it saves this log (html page) in the alamylogs folder on your pc. Open the log in your browser click on ?¿src-img and the job is done.... Calum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
