I wouldn't want to try to teach anyone to suck eggs, but feel obliged to mention this as I can't see any previous citation on this thread.

There's a great (free) reverse image search called 'TinEye' at www.tineye.com (also available as a plug-in for anyone using Mozilla Firefox, IE, Chrome or Safari as their internet browser) which searches the web for any instance of image files being duplicated, irrespective of their size or image file format.

I'm not sure how comprehensive its search may be but, hey, it's better than having to check every web page yourself!! Hope it's useful.

Sorry, it wont (AFAIK) detect use of images embedded within Flash sequences...

Welcome Richard, I'm sure you will like it here, the help and the knowledge on this forum is second to none, there is also a good sense of humour, looking forward to seeing some of your work in the future.
Thanks for your welcome!

This is probably the wrong place to post any work, but as a 'newbie', I might just get away with it this once...

Hi everyone

Just registered after being a 'troll' for some years. Had a K10 for quite a while and just upgraded to a K5. Accumulated a few lenses/bits over the years - some new, others hand-me-downs and one or two from a certain auction site. I've just bought a set of old K-mount macro bellows and am having fun learning how to use them.

I've also done a couple of night-school courses for Photoshop and would consider myself to have basic ability with that, although not necessarily on specific photography applications.

Originally a Brummie but now based in Devon, there are some great opportunities for loading up a camera bag (yes, have several, it really can be an addiction!) and going for a walk - which I ought to do more often!

I know where most of the buttons are on the camera, just want to learn which one is for "Take great picture"!

Hope I can bring something to the forum occasionally, as it's answered a lot of my queries in the past.

Richard
