Pinterest Frustration

Find the source of a picture! OR How to find pictures that look like what you are looking for?

I've been doing this for years, even before Pinterest made it a necessity. I've written this as comments on several pins but there are too many people bemoaning the fact that they'll never know where to find information about the picture taken. I can't keep up.

Today that ENDS. It is really easy once you know how.

1. Right click on the image.
2. Select "Copy Image Location" or "Copy Image Address" or "Copy Link Address" or if you are using IE go to properties>highlight and copy the address at the bottom.


3. Paste this address into the Google search engine and hit enter.
4. Once it tries to search just make sure and click on "SEARCH BY IMAGE."



Voila! You'll see where this picture has been posted (if it has been.) You'll also see pictures that are LIKE it. Mine for example has never been taken from my blog and used elsewhere so we won't see it here. These are all pictures that are similar though don't you think?

Google can be so neat sometimes! Thank you for following along. :D
