Hello every one, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, if not, please move it.

I found a web page called www.xaxor.com where they had many of my pictures, it really bothers me when people simply take them and don't let you know the use they will give to your work. Any ways, I found some other members's images there such as Mike Moats images. I sent them an e-mail last night asking them to remove my images from their site and they did almos right away. The worst to me was that they cropped the images right where my copyright was. Too bad.

I just entered one of my images in tineye which I know for sure has been used on some foreign blog sites, although they DID leave in my copyright. However, those sites didn't come up. I have done this with a few other pictures which I know for sure are on some sites, and this site doesn't necessarily give you all of the places you can find the pictures. However, I have happened upon the pictures when I did a google search of my name. Go figure.

I, too, have found Tineye to be only semi accurate.

Screen clipping is happening all the time! I don't like having my watermark across the middle of my work and people are always clipping my images! So far, I haven't seen use of my work on others websites (haven't used Tineye) but, I just made a small sale of a couple images for a book and the photo editor sent me screen clips of the images he wanted!!!! And of course, the watermark at the bottom of the frame had been cropped out!
What to do? I don't want the watermark across the face of my images!!!

Just ran across this thread. I did find one of my images through tineye. Number 13 on the link page. It must have come from BPN and there is not a lot they can do with it at such a low resolution. It was the only place I uploaded the image that needed more space at the right of the shot. http://www.spoki.lv/foto-izlases/Vini-tavam-priekam/235737 Corrected image...http://www.garyesmanphotography.com/Waterfowl/Wood-Duck/21541436_V6HW39#!i=1631038085&k=632gxk5.
