I'm sure most of you have seen this since it is probably the most used site for outside source images. I personally don't like the change google did... luckily there is a way to disable it and bring back the old google images.

I don't like how the sizes are hidden. Mad

I'll have to look over the link you posted to see how to turn that crap interface off.

what Shocked my google seems the same?

http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en

I always do the advanced search so that I can get just what I want and I always use the
Return images that are large

so that they are high resolution.

I am so glad it's not just me! I had almost convinced myself that the image sizes had never been there at all !! I usually go for the large images, but it was nice to know the sizes right from the `get go`.

but if you guys do the advanced search, it will automatically give you the largest files & 9 times out of 10 they are just fine for use here.

It really doesn't make too much of a difference to me. I do use google images from time to time, but mostly for reference images rather than source images. When looking for a reference image, I usually don't care much about the size, mostly just the shape/angle/etc.

If I were using google for source images, I could see how the old version would be better (especially if you don't use the advanced search).
