RE: Operation Steemit Newbies: Free Photo Resources + Education About DPOS

in #photos7 years ago

I've seen quite some posts bashing Google Images and promoting Pixabay & some other websites by giving out some copyright advisory. I've used them too but I don't see any advantage over Google Images for using these websites. Neither do they have got a large collection of images nor do they have a good search tool. Most of my keywords in these websites don't give any result and that's so disappointing!

To all Google Image lovers here, please note that instead of dumping Google Images for some unfamiliar websites regularly being recommended by some senior Steemians on this platform, you should better learn to use Google Images properly. Before you type in your keywords in Google Images' search box, click the "Tools" drop-down button and choose "usage rights". Or click "Settings" and then go to "Advanced Image Search" and in the "usage rights" drop down choose "free to use or share". Now continue with your searches. You will get all the images which are copyright-free for sharing here. I'm writing all this in bold letters because I don't know why nobody tells it here. Instead of abandoning good tools, we should learn to use them according to our needs.

And by the way @stellabelle, I think you now need to edit your beautiful graphic as you have just touched the 75 rep score. Many many congratulations to you for accomplishing this feat!

Most people will not know how to use the tool correctly. Better safe than sorry. But thanks for the indepth answer!
