What does the agreement between Google and Getty Images mean?

Getty Images he said a deal he made with her . This particular deal between the two companies includes a global licensing partnership between them, which will come with some changes to Google's images.

What does this mean;

If you do an image search on Google Images right now, you'll see a “button” “ image” on the results page, which often displays a larger version of the image you're interested in.Getty Images

Getty Images has filed a lawsuit against Google in the European Union and the United States because of the specific button that allows downloading high-resolution images directly from the Google Image results page and not from the web page containing the image.

So those who want an image can view it and download it from Google without ever visiting the site where the photo was posted.

The official announcement on the Getty Images website reveals very little about the deal, but an email sent to companies and photographers working with Getty Images provides more details about the deal.

So Getty Images reports in the message, (published by Peta Pixel), that the company withdrew the complaint because Google recognized the issue. Google has agreed to make changes to the image search engine to address the behavior that worries Getty Images, and according to the email, this will "benefit all image owners worldwide."

Google will remove the “view image” button and display copyright on Google images.

It is currently unclear whether the change will affect only Getty Images images or all images displayed by , but it's highly likely that Google will remove the functionality entirely from the image search engine.

Let's wait and see.
