YSK: A simple trick for finding the original source of an image
Why YSK: If you find an image online and want to figure out where it originally came from, don't just search the filename.
Try reverse image searching the image, then look for the \*\*oldest/highest-quality result\*\* rather than the first result.
A useful workflow is:
1. Reverse image search
2. Open several matching results
3. Look for the earliest publication date
4. Compare image resolution
5. Check whether the page actually credits the image
This is especially useful when researching old photos because the same image can get reposted hundreds of times.
