..the google search has a link to the court order language at the bottom of the search

But - I havent heard of similar for art images.

What artwork are you looking for ?

The process I have always used before is not letting me save the image in My Pictures, which I save for posting in an art essay. My computer guy wonders if Google is the reason I can't save them.

then using Copy Image and pasting onto a blank file in Photoshop. I saved some to Pictures, I think. I saved a bunch of Mucha prints to Pictures for transfer onto polymer clay earrings a few months ago and didn't have any problems.

If you can't save could the problem be your OS? I find strange things happen between updates of Windows 10.

I haven't noticed any recent changes...

(photos) for printing out for a project in class and not had a problem except where they're copy protected on a site. I always use Google but maybe you should try a different search engine?

I haven't used it in years but I just logged on and it looks good.

Is another reliable photohosting site. If your problem persists you could get an account their and then upload and save collections of URLs to separate folders there. Then download the folder/album to My Pictures.

Might be worth a test for a few pictures to see how it works for you.

up to the completed essay I then post to DU. My images are in My Pictures file in separate folders with the title of each essay.Using tinypic.com is the final step in the process. My pic is somehow linked to tinypic since it automatically goes to My Documents when I start out the process.

...and then upload them to my image hosting account and then embed the links in my folder that way.

Yes, you have to pay for it ($29 - I believe) - I got too frustrated with some of the free screen capture stuff and sprung for Photopad and does a good job with min. of fuss and fuming . It has some extra bells and whistles for cropping, editing, layout, etc.. You then save the image to your computer as JPEG or whatever and then , if reposting I go to Photobucket.

Now that I'm established at tinypic, I'll stay with it. But Photopad might be the way to go to get the image.

Is there a Google Artworks site? or are you just trying to save images from the results page of a Google Images search, without visiting the sites themselves?

Or is it that you use Google Chrome as your browser, and something seems to have changed?

I'm just trying to save the art images on my pc.

Sometimes I do visit the site where the image is from because I get valuable art history information when I do. When I visit the site I copy the art image from there.

I'm not surprised if Google has decided to try and stop copying from there. It would rather defeat the point of copyright.

And yet you think this is a problem with Google? Maybe contact the artists and offer to pay them for their work. Or draw it yourself. You know, for the exposure. Exposure tastes great with a nice Chianti and some fava beans.

Fortunately I've only worn the earrings and haven't sold any yet. Poor Alphonse must be flipping in his crypt. His art is all over the Internet and in the Public Domain!

Of course I'm not talking about old masters pieces, or 150 year old artwork. If that is what you're looking for, Google can't claim there is a copyright issue, as these works have long since fallen into the public domain. Copyright doesn't apply anymore. So, there must be something else. You're either looking for newer works, or Google is just scamming you.

I obviously was directing my post toward the OP. But hey, have fun!

He can be SUCH a diva.

Guy paints a few pretty pictures, gets all high and mighty, so impressed with himself. He owes me five bucks since like, forever too.

I'd say the artists weren't too concerned about copyright on account of being dead. It would be difficult to pay them for the use of their work when that's the case.

the artists having been dead for centuries. It's all public domain stuff. CTyankee does wonderful art history posts. So, can you climb down off that high horse now?

How, exactly, was I supposed to know any of that based upon the OP? Obviously, it wasn't until well into the thread that it became apparent that the discussion was about hundreds year old classic artworks, not contemporary illustrations from current sites. Not an unusual occurrence with Internet posts, wherein the OP and his/her friends assume everybody else is supposed to know exactly what they're talking about.

High horse? Really? I'll meet you at the hitching post.

goals in life: to share my love of art to others. I get no money for this. The art has already enriched me just by being there. Just about everything I use is also in the public domain.
You don't have to read my essays and clearly you don't. That's fine. You might say I teach, just without a salary.

We're neighbors, CTyankee. I am not (or was not) familiar with your essays. i approached it as the victim of people regularly linking to my artwork for free, not from the historical perspective of what you are posting. Where is the link to the essays?

Again, to you (and all of the "high horse" people that think I was being nasty), my most sincere apologiy. All of these years I've known CTyankee on DU, and I never known about the art essays. I consider myself enlightened, and I thank you.

Peace!

There is no one link to the essays. But I am hoping to post one this Friday. It is on Bernini's "Ecstasy of St. Teresa." I do them in GD usually around 5 pm EDT.

tell me about your artwork. What do you work in? Do you have pics of your work you could share here?

I am working on another essay on James Whistler, more narrowly on his beautiful ladies work. I hope to tackle Degas' dancers (thanks to inspiration from a dear friend) soon also.

I have to hope there is an easily fixed solution to this problem. Computer guy coming today to help!
