I recently found a very good .gif of an uncommon animal that would go very well with an article that I will be publishing soon.
However, the .gif was found in the "my pictures" folder in my harddrive. Now I am absolutely certain that I "right click/save as"'d that image off some website.
The problem is, is that I forgot the website and a google/yahoo image search for its exact filename and several variations with different image extensions too (.jpg, .tiff, etc) yielded absolutely nothing.
I also typed in the name in a websearch and after browsing at least 150 webpages, I have given up.
Is there any way I can find out the artist of some image? There are no watermarks, stamps, etc. And also, should I just go ahead and publish it? Our circulation is very very small, probably no more than 800. And it's just a simple.gif which I grayscaled.
Edit: And we are a non-profit publication, meaning we have no advertisements, subscription fee, and accept no private donations
