In early October, we reported Google added authorship to image search. We also reported how confusing it was because the authorship was applied to the author of the story on the page but not the author of the image.
For example, Google showed by this image, that the author was by Juliet Eilperin but the image was not taken by Juliet Eilperin it was by Mark Wilson at Getty Images.
Recently, Google updated the authorship in image search description to specify "Page by" to avoid that confusion:
This is an improvement.

It would make more sense for Google to simply not use bylines for Image Search (unless, of course, the bylines were for the creators of the images).

Which is again hard to verify (impossible), so I agree with your original statement, 'simply not use' - everything looks way too busy

Way too busy, and also way too useless. When I'm searching for a picture of Barack Obama, Bearded Collies, or Buenos Aires, why should I care who wrote the text on the page where the image was found?

I guess Google need to be a little more focused and stop wasting time with images and information that not necessary

This improvement was much needed. Otherwise it was confusing. I am happy it see that google is very careful about the origin or authenticity of a document in the internet. I appreciate this.
