Which agencies beside Getty use TinEye? It could never find any of my images besides IS.

A few. You will start to see more results soon:

Ok Kone, I've noticed that the other guy with your photo is still active so I reported the CR infringement to Yahoo as well... we should see the same results for that as well in short time.

I just did a small TinEye search on this person's portfolio http://www.flickr.com/photos/44787562@N02/ with the infringing beer photo here http://www.flickr.com/photos/44787562@N02/4178115893/# and I also noticed a photo that looked very familiar: a field of lavender (it is the French in me!). I may be wrong but I suspect it is a copyright violation as well as it is an iStockphoto image. The original image with the following caption: "Image shows a lavender field in the region of Provence, southern France, photographed on a windy afternoon " is here:

As I see billions of images, I noticed a few images in that portfolio that are totally out of place but I don't have time to do all the searches... sorry guys!

Hi All,

I found our images being resold by another party on Flickr for wall paper is that allowed?. They even changed one shot just a little bit by adding some window blinds. One Photo is of my two dogs laying on my couch in my living room, so I am pretty positive it is mine. Found it through Tin Eye.

Best,
Jonathan

Jonathan,

I have done a TinEye search for most of the images in this Flickr portfolio in case the search results are useful. Please bear in mind that some of the links in the results may have expired and the images may no longer be on the site we actually crawled. It seems that the images in this Flickr account may not have been created by the person who is posting them (National Geographic anyone?)

Hi Leila,

I am a big fan of TinEye's, but lately it seems not to be finding anything new. With many of my bestsellers selling as XS, I suppose they should be in many websites. I know it is impossible to cover all Internet content, but have you stopped increasing your database?

Hey Madelaide,
Oh no, we have not stopped growing our database. Our latest updated added 32 million images. We also have an update going out on Monday (and a few announcements!). Growing our index is a big focus for us. We have taken a huge amount of time to figure out how to best do that, which sites to crawl and what type of content to add to TinEye. Remember even at 1.2 billion images are index is still small! If you haven't found where your images are currently appearing it is simply because we have yet to crawl the sites where they are appearing. Keep an eye on our what's new page: http://www.tineye.com/releases

not sure but I think TinEye developers has this as an actual commercial service... Seem to recall something like that?

TinEye itself is supposed to be a fully featured but cutdown, single acces type version (kinda like jing for screencapture)

I can't think that they will allow this for long. Can you imagine what this will do to their public access servers if the micro community all hits them with complete database searches? Let's say half that? It's still about 4million search queries on a system that was designed for a "one by one" search.

ID say... Rather petition one of the big boys to add it as a feature... ID even pay for a search like that. Do it once every few weeks to see what's on where...

thanks a lot, using eyemypics has permanently blocked tineye for my isp.
users should be aware you may not be able to access tineye.com anymore.

Forgiss: thanks for your comments. Indeed. That's exactly why we don't allow automated scripts to hit our servers. But not to worry we are working hard to bring you guys this feature. It will be out soon.
And yes, when you are referring to a commercial service I think you mean our Commercial API https://api.tineye.com/ which is currently a corporate offering. No worries: image search is our focus and making TinEye a photographer's best friend is in our plans!

Guys, make sure you use v.1.1.1, v.1.1 had a small bug in iStock parsing.
I've just tried jcpjr's portfolio and it seems to work.

There might be a problem on TinEye side suspecting eyemypics is a robot, so I might have to slow down the request rate even further :-(
Let me know if you experience this problem.

Thanks for jumping in here Leila

Thanks!
Hey guys, I am TinEye's CEO. Some of you may know me but I am a new participant in this forum. Thanks for your interest in TinEye. We know it will be a great too for all photographers to find where your images are appearing and being used. As you know the TinEye release we have out at the moment only allows you to search one image at a time. We are aware that this is a significant limitation for all of you and are working on our next release which will allow you to do exactly what you need: search an entire portfolio or simply track a set of images. We are looking forward to doing that in 2010. Of course keeping track of where your images are appearing requires that our index continues growing at a steady pace - which is our current focus.

As to Eyemypics: we do not allow automated scripts to hit our servers. That goes for any automated scripts, not just Eyemypics. I hope that you all understand that we are here to help you and provide one of the best image search engines - we just need your patience at the moment.

Hey guys: that app is in violation of our terms of service. TinEye does not allow automated searches.
