I have the right click "Search Google with this Image" extension on my browsers but that only gives me limited feedback. How do you find who is using your art? Thanks - Jonathan

You might try https://books.google.com/?hl=en&safe=strict and search your name or your stock user name. You'll be surprised what you'll find...

Mostly you don't find out unless you do a google image search or happen to come across images in use.

Thanks for that link! I'm not new to this but had never tried that before and found a whole bunch of book uses of my images  :) Regards, David.

i used to be able to find lots of it when i was using my nephew's computer. he used to just drop my photos into the search box and it found me lots.
but now that i am home and using my own computer, and using google i find a lot of shutterstock and only a handful of used photos by clients.

could it be that he was using chrome??? can one of the experts here tell me if chrome makes searching more efficient by dropping it into the box??? is not google the same?

I'm using "Who stole my pictures?" extension for firefox and it seems to work quite well

There's no way of knowing.

How many more years before something like Google reverse image search is available for video? I've never seen one of my videos in the wild.

You sell images on RM license (in macros) not RF and keep control over the work.

If you find it as a personal Facebook cover or profile photo you can be 99.99% sure it's stolen :(

Out of curiosity, did you get a big payday for the illustration recently?

Well, I just found out when watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver....my favorite show. Now my REALLY favorite show.  :)

Works for me. That's how I got proof for my DACS credit. Type in the artist name you use plus the word photo. I was surprised.
