10 tips for Google image search

Google System Blog says Google Image Search could be used in many ways beyond the obvious. For instance:
If you want to know if a person is a man or a woman and the name doesn't help, do a search for the name.
It provides a better search for Flickr. Google uses information from other sites that link to Flickr photos, so you may find Google search better.
Find a new wallpaper for your desktop by restricting your search to large images. You can automate this using an application.
Find random personal pictures, using standard file names from digital cameras.
Type the name of a painter and you can take an art class.
Install a Greasemonkey script so you can view the original version of the image directly by clicking on the thumbnail. (Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on that provides thousands of scripts to perform a vast range of functions not normally part of the browser experience.)
