This is a great link. I received the approval, but for some reason I am not able to sign up. I keep getting an error message. Have any of you experienced this? |

After finding a hit on my top selling image, I was disappointed for all I tried thereafter (about half my first page). Some had lots of false positives for other Shutterstock images. Most had zero hits. It failed to find one that I know exists on two separate websites. Then I read their fine print on the size of its index and how it find the image. It'll never find your images used as elements of an overall graphic. It doesn't look for "signatures" or "patterns" similar to those of your image in a complex search. It just looks for the same file.
But... great idea. If it can be refined to work reasonably well over time then it will be a valuable service. |

I admit its not perfect, but I feel any tool to help locate our images is helpful. |

I requested an invite and instantly got a confirmation of the request. That however doesn't mean that I can use it until they send me the real invitation to register. I'm not sure but maybe that's the case with you too. |

I did receive the confirmation and then a few hours later the approval. There is a link to type my user name and passwords, which I've done, but I continue to get an error. I've sent a note to the support group, but haven't heard anything back. |

Then you were luckier than me, i was waiting for approval all day long and nothing. I hope it will eventually work for you, if not you can still try a new request! |

Definetly worth the wait! I finally got in! I was able to find one of my photos used at a winery. Love the site...I'm going to keep playing to see if I see anymore of my photos! |
