I will start by saying if I have posted in the wrong forum I apologize, still learning my way around here. 

As well all know it's nice to see image sales but also nice to see how the end user has applied our images so with that in mind I have found a useful little way to use Google Chrome to track where my images are used - this has also proved useful to track 'Non Authorized Usage'

Here we go - Step 1: Open your Google Chrome browser and your folder containing your stock images side by side:


Step 2: Select 'Image Search' on Chrome and type in your name - the result should pull up a bunch of your pictures (do note it may just pull up all kinds of random stuff not related to you but that does not matter)

Step 3: Click and hold on an image in your stock file and drag it over to the top of the Chrome search results (The box saying place image here will pop up)  Drop your image in the box


Step 4: Look through the results (you will of course see all the agencies representing the image) but also any internet references for the image



Step 5: Follow the yellow brick road - look through the links to see how your images are used.


A neat and quick way to track your images for your tear sheets, hope you find this useful.

Peace to all. 

And I just found how to do that. After you have dropped the image in the search, just type -stock after the words already in the search box and hit enter again. Nice.

But will that discard all the stock sites where is on?

Images on the web.  Go to your online port and go crazy.

Chrome has a dozen

LMAO, the plugin has just totally made my system redundant   

You'll still get an "A" for effort

     I've  tried  the  method  Darren  recomends  or  a  very  simular  one.  i  found  one  of  my  images  very  easily.  Haven't  had  a  chance  to  check  more.

Thanks for posting this information.  I'm now able to find enough tearsheets to keep me busy for months!
