I am searching an image via Google image-search with the 'Drag & Drop' method.
My question is, if I drag an image from my computer into Google image-search, it will show the result (if any) but what happens to the dragged (uploaded) image?
Will it be removed/deleted or will it be stored in Google's servers or any another place?
It looks like they will keep a copy of the image.

How Google uses the image you search with
When you search by image, any images or URLs that you upload will be
stored by Google. Google uses those images and URLs solely to provide
and improve our products and services.

It looks like I can't get the image links to optimize my sites like I could in the previous version. Is there a way to get these links?
Thanks!
Hey Ben i am having the same issues, what he is talking about is before page insights was with lighthouse as it is now, we were given the exact resource needed in the form google requested them to be. So if we had an image that was 4 mb and 2000x2000 but the view port of where the image was lets say 300x300, google would provide that picture in a zip folder along with all other photos in the same boat. Also if javascript or css needed minification it also provided those files for us. I do not see that option at all any longer and its really disapponintng as it saved me two steps of optimiaztion in regards to page speed and hoping we can get it back!?
I would like to use python to download the image and sequences of images found in the location on openstreetcam.
http://openstreetcam.com/details/8552/422
I figured out the image is saved under
http://api.openstreetcam.org/files/photo/2016/6/30/lth/8552_2fbf0_57756eba868e9.jpg?v=1518090956232
however there is no official API to use. How would one extract the image and gps data?
Edit: The GPS data can be found in the url by clicking Edit OSM id.
Ideally one would use some sort of web scraper however the .jpg is not found in the website source code.
OSC's endpoints are a little hidden.
Invite you to check out https://github.com/Streets-Data-Collaborative/osc-tools where I've written some scripts to extract track data and the underlying metadata for each track.

Earth often seems to load random images instead of the ones specified in kml. For example load the kml sample from the kml documentation for IconStyle (https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#iconstyle) It specifies the image at http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal3/icon21.png which when viewed in a browser is a building on a green field, but in earth shows up as mountains.
Seems almost as though earth is hard coded to use an internal palette whenever a google hosted image is found and the palettes have gotten out of sync.
(Earth version is 6.2.1.6014 (beta))
I think this is a unfortunate legacy issue.
Google Maps at one point changed around their icons - reusing the same filenames!
Google Earth on the other hand knows that many users where using the specific icons in their Places and KML files. So rather than everybodies icons suddenly changing randomly, they choose to still show the old icons.
Would be funny if it wasn't true!
If you really want to use Google hosted icons, you could use an alternative URL - one that hopefully Google Earth wont attempt to 'fix', eg http://googleapis.com/mapfiles/kml/pal3/icon21.png
But really would not recommend relying on Google Hosted icons. They can change at any point.
If you really don't want to have any problem download the icons you want to use and create a KMZ layer instead of KML. Like that you will be able to have a folder with your images inside and you won't be depending on the hosted ones.
I have a website I am building for myself that I want to display the same image, but throughout the site in different sizes. So for example on the Portfolio page I want the image to be very large, but then have same image in thumbnail version on same page, and then on the landing page I want same image to be slightly larger.
What is the best and smartest way to go about this? It would be much easier for me to just make one image, upload to server, and then change the size however I see fit throughout the site so I don't have to upload multiple sizes of the same image. The goal is to scale/resize these so they don't look stretched.
The imageresizing.net library is designed to do exactly this. It installs on any Windows IIS server, and lets you add a querystring after any image URL to resize it.
Ex. image.jpg?width=100 would dynamically resize (and cache to disk, if enabled) the image.
The library has a long history of running high-volume websites such as social networks & photo album services, has a large community, and 39 plugins.

i'm trying to build a batch image downloader in chrome. Basically, i will overlay a small download square to each image on the page and user clicks on it to download. Or the user can click to download all images on a page. I'm currently stuck on figuring out how to download the images. The best i can come up with is to use XHR to send the image to another server, the user can then retrieve it there.
If anyone have a solution for me. It would be much appreciated!
Jason
I believe you can XHR the images and using the File API you can store them locally.
Take a look at the following site http://www.html5rocks.com/features/file there are additional resources on the right column that has detailed examples and tutorials. Such as http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/file/filesystem/

This code will do the trick for you: https://gist.github.com/1049553
It's very simple usage of a 'feature' in chrome when you open an image in a new tab.
