Author Topic: Google Image search better than TinEye? (Read 8028 times)

Was looking for one of my images which really sold well lately, hoping I might pick up somewhere it is used on the web. Loaded the image into TinEye and.... zero found. Not even on the 12+ RF websites it is located on!

Loaded the image into Google Image Search and... 3 pages full of results.

I thought TinEye was supposed to be the expert dedicated search engine for this?

I never found TinEye to be all that good, when looking for in-uses or abuses.
IME, GIS is much better.

GIS = Google Image Search - the thing you were asking about.
