Have you every used the Google reverse image search?

If you go to Google Images, and click on the little camera in the search bar, it will allow you to upload an image from your computer. It is very helpful if you want to ID something in the picture. I recently uploaded the picture I am including here, to see if I could identify the flower. It is a Chinese Hibiscus. It showed me info on the flower, and gave me other pictures.
It works best on a close up shot. Even works on , say, a celebrity. If you upload a picture of, say, Alfred Hitchcock. It will ID him. Funny, I loaded the picture of myself that I have as my profile picture, and it gave me the response of "Senior citizen" Well, they were not wrong.
This is the picture I used.

Yes I have. I remember taking some wildflower photos and doing a reverse search to see what they were. I think you can also use the image location URL for pictures you don't have on your computer. Lol on the senior citizen Marie! Pretty flower!

 

[Marie5656]

That is right on the image URL.

Yes, I use the reverse image search, but I don't use Google. (It works on other search engines, too.)

I just used Google Image for my avatar and it described me as "Girl". Well, THAT'S a relief. haha

I scrolled down and there were many pics Google "thought" were similar to mine and clearly Google doesn't have a favorable opinion of my appearance to put it mildly lol
