I just reported about a Google Image update but it seems with that update, Google has removed a very important feature. Typically, if you click on an image in Google images, it will open that image in a framed window. Part of that framed window will contain a Google Search box at the top and the page the image came from in the bottom half.
What is now missing is the "Remove This Frame" link from Google Image search.
You can of course click on the "Below is the image in its original context on the page: URL here" option to take you directly to the image source. But the "remove this frame" link has been removed.
A WebmasterWorld is discussing this now and some are mentioning that Google is currently testing out new layout options for this feature. For me, I currently don't see the "remove this frame" text anywhere. However, some say it was "renamed and moved to the other side of the screen." Time will tell.
Forum discusison at WebmasterWorld.

"Everthing" is gone for me, links go straight to the actual picture. No thumb, no frame, no nothing. Just the image on its original location.

I sure wish they would remove the Google Images frame that appears when selecting an image. I think its just bad UI. They don't it with text searches.

How come there is not option at all to disable the frame for the search results? It is always annoying to see it and I always close it. Because of that I prefer a site like alltheweb.com for my imagen search!

This image frame removal fiasco is getting on my nerves. I can not move the frame up and away in image search, all it gives me is remove frame option. I have to wait for Google to reload the f,n page every time now. Ahhhhhh

I only have half a browser when image is framed by Google but that was not a problem before. I used to be able to move the frame up and away but now all I get is this "remove frame" option which reloads the whole web site again. In my opinion Google is stacking the chips in their favor with hyped up searches and the browser servers have to take the hit. I am moving to yahoo to get my "move frame" up and away option.

I really miss this frame. Now it open the page, fine, but you have to scroll endlessy to find your image. Bing for the image search from now.
