Could anyone give me some guidelines to use images in the articles? Just like to prevent copyright images.


i don't know to identify copyright images. that's teh raeson why i never use images from net :blink: :blink:


Then how to use images in the article. I think editors can give us a common guideline to identify the copyright images. So that the articles can be presented with the images.


i love photography, have a huge collection taken by my camera

others, I used from newspapers and old magazines, Malayalam. but, most recently admin asked me not to use such images as they are also copyrighted :)

Not all copyright images carry water marks. I wonder How someople are using images indiscriminately in their articles. It's going to be a big issue in future.
I use my drawings and paintings of my own and convert them in to transparent GIFs

73 Title: DeviantArt
Description: Stock photos at DeviantArt. You need to check usage permission for each image individually


Take for example Deviant art. it says ' check usage permission '. This is so for innumerable number of Photo sites on the web.
The question is where to check and how to check? by the time you get permission to use the image, it will be an eternity. I know many people have become victims of copyright litigations unknowingly.


The list given above may have some sites where you need either permission of the site or photographer(not in all cases but you never know) the best source is wikipedia where photos are allowed to use without problem. I use either my own camera work or photos from wiki.

I love this free image hosting site for sharing my work

But its tough to find out the picture which are not copy righted.

Recently editors have started given us the warning if we use copy righted pics on the articles I have seen one of the article getting such comment and ultimately editor had removed those pics from one of my article before approving it. :blink:
