Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Shawn's Tutorials!

Today I want to show you a little tip on how to set your Chrome browser to show you royalty free images when you search images on the web.

Before we get to that let's make sure we all know how to search for an image on the Chrome browser.

Say I wanted to search for Images for the words "blue cars" ( I will use that as an example, this search could be any topic, like worms, houses that are blue, etc...

Open your browser up and type in the words blue cars and click enter.

You will see options below the box you typed the word blue cars in and you will want to click on the images link. (See arrow below ) This will show you the image results for the words blue cars.


***UPDATE***

Many people asked about the following that is posted by the images:

"Images may be subject to copyright."

Here is Google Chromes answer in their support forum.

"When you do a Google Search, you can filter your results to find images, videos, or text that you have permission to use. To do this, you’ll use an Advanced Search filter called "usage rights" that lets you know when you can use, share, or modify something you find online."

Here is a link to the whole text:

****** UPDATE ******

Thanks to some extra effort from HelenpDoyle we have found a shortcut to using this feature.

You can just do a Google search of Advanced Image Search and then click on the link at the top https://www.google.com/advanced_image_search and you will be taken to the settings page for your browser. You do not need to click on the gear and many versions of Chrome still do not have that gear to click on so this is the best way to get there, and the quickest1 Thanks again HelenpDoyle!

Do you know how to do this on Chrome. I can't find a gear there. Used Google itself and it worked brilliantly.

Are you running a current version of Chrome?

Who knows. I would assume (dangerous!) that if I have Chrome it updates automatically. Before I experiment I need to know this.

It probably doesn't. Why should Chrome make it easy for us.

Shawn I did something brilliant (but entirely accidental). I typed in Advance Search in the search box and hey presto got some info. To me it appears a convoluted way of doing this but with no 'gear' it is the best I can do. Searched https://www.google.com.au/advanced image search. Then hit this Google Advanced Image Search on the website list. Got this
