I mostly used this button after I went to the page and found that the image I wanted to look at was impossible to find or shrunk really small or otherwise difficult to see. What might be better is a "jump to image on page" button.

That would be great, but unless there was an anchor in the html, I'm not sure how a link from the search results could do it...

I'm going to play devils advocate here and say this is a good change. If google was scaping the text of sites and only displaying that, would we think that was ok? Just like google search, this is about giving you a preview, then go to the source.

If you want the image, we all know how to find it, get it. How big of an annoyance is this?

Ugh, I've been using right-click > copy image address pretty habitually everywhere else. Guess I gotta get in the habit of doing it with google images now too. Idiotic change, isn't bureaucracy great.

Richer click and copy url doesn’t even work on google search results anymore. You just get the google analytics redirection crap. Bleargh.
