Google View Image Button

[nailit]

Whats happened to the Google 'view image' button?
Just been trying to view images (no problem there) But when pressing on a particular pic, you used to get 'view image'. Now you only get the option to go directly to the webpage. There have been times that myself and others on AB have C&P a link to an image, seems that function is no longer available via Google. Or am I missing something as usual?
Thanks.

You can blame Getty Images.

//Google confirmed that the change is directly related to the Getty Images complaint...

Cheers Mamy, thought I was going mad for a minute
(wouldn't have been the first time though...)

So does this mean that no-one can no longer post a pic on sites such as AB?

Other options are available Nails. I use thumbsnap dead easy.

I used to grab an image simply to brighten up a Birthday post, now I use borders instead.

[Mamyalynne]

Can you use Thumbsnap to find an image?

Cheers Togo. Just had a look at Thunbsnap (never heard of it before) but it appears to be a photo sharing site??
I was looking at sharing internet images.

'borders' mamy?

[Mamyalynne]

This type of thing, just to decorate a Birthday wish say.

Right click on the image and open in new tab , you get less clutter and a shorter link.

I right-click on the image and select 'Copy Image Location'. Then I open a new tab and paste the URL into the address bar.

A lot of people think that Google Images is a depositry of images - its not - its just a search result.

There are sites where you can get high resolution free images.

[Mamyalynne]

Nothing wrong with it, I live in a block of flats - not as high though.

[jno]

if you just right click on the image you want, it should say "view image" as one of the options.

[nailit]

I don't seem to have the option to open in a new tab...

[nailit]

jno, no it doesn't, not any more. hence my post
