Google Removed an Important Feature from its Photo Search - Thanks Getty

[JMAC]

Some may have noticed that, six days ago, Google removed "View Image" button from Google Images.
I've always used that a lot to up or down size Including: finding a small enough size of an image to post on AA - since I don't use any photo-sharing site, I would only be able to post one of my big downloaded 'keepers' as an attachment and it would appear on AA as a thumbnail, which, if clicked on, is pretty small.

There was a time our esteemed Moderator would enlarge that image if he thought it interesting, but doesn't anymore and who could blame him? > Dan/Messers <- you guys must get little sleep!!_

Anyhooey, Thankfully, "view image" is still available_, but with additional effort_

> Just drag and drop to Reverse Image Search ( identified as "Search by image" )

John.......I still enlarge many photos in member's posts. Unfortunately a lot of images are so large that they don't show they entire photo, just a part of it that requires one to scroll up and down, or left an right to view. I don't waste my time with photos larger than my monitor size, nor do I expect members to have to scroll to see a photo. For those photos, I do not enlarge them. In most cases photos should remain no larger than about 1400 pixels in width.

I used to download the ultra large photos, resize them in photo editing software, upload them to flickr, then paste them back into a post, but that got to be way too much of a burden. I don't mind enlarging attached photos provided they don't exceed 1400 pixels in width. Otherwise I ignore them.

As for Google Images, yes, I noticed the change and don't like it.
