Use Google for Finding Images You Can Use!

CATEGORIES: Living In Layers | RC | July 13, 2009

vic1 Happy Monday everyone. Today I was met with a really cool article on how Google has since changed their Image searching… for the WAY Better. Check this blurb out Terry Stone at Creative Pro):

“…In a July 9 blog post, Google software engineers Lance Huang and George Ruban quietly and calmly unveiled a change to Google’s Image Search that could save countless designers from violating image copyrights.

By checking a few boxes in the “Usage rights” section of the advanced image search page, you can now filter every image Google has ever indexed so that you see only files tagged with a license that allows re-use of the image.”

This is going to be a HUGE thing for the creative professional, so I suggest you guys hit this article up and check it out. Much thanks to Terri and Creative Pro for the info. Click on the link below for more info:

Lightroom Galleries with External Drives
If you use Lightroom, youre a Photographer that is doing a bit of shooting (even though I think ANYONE shooting pictures should get Lightroom). If you are doing a lot of shooting.. you are invariably going to run out of space. This means that you will need to get a bigger hard drive. OR!!! You can setup your Lightroom catalog to stay on your machine and have all the IMAGES on a removable hard drive. Check out the video below to see what I mean:
