What are the best ways to find the copyright owner of a photo, especially if the image is old or the owner is unknown

There are several ways to find the copyright owner of an old or unknown image. One way is to check the image's metadata, which can be done by right-clicking on the image and selecting Properties on Windows or Show Inspector and then EXIF tab on macOS. This may contain information about the copyright owner and a full copyright notice.

Another way is to do a reverse image search using a tool like TinEye. This can help identify the copyright owner by comparing the image to others in its database. TinEye's search results can be sorted by Best Match or Biggest Image and filtered by Image Collections and Stock Sites.

You can also check the image's license by using image copyright checker tools for content development. These tools allow you to search by image title, name, or photographer's name, which may provide information about the officially registered and recognized copyright holder.

In addition, you can look for copyright information in printed publications where the image appears. Images used in magazines or newspapers are often credited with copyright information, which can be found beneath the image or in the spine of the magazine.

Finally, you can use Google Image Search to find image details, such as image credits and copyright information, by clicking on the image and selecting Image details from the menu.

It's important to note that not all images on the web are copyrighted, but it's always best to verify the copyright status of an image before using it to avoid any potential legal issues.
