Cover photo choice?

Susan B Member Profile All Messages By This Member #20370 Is there a stock of cover photos somewhere that we can choose from? We are working on getting one but it’ll probably take a while. Thank you. Susan B

Donald Hellen All Messages By This Member #20376 Susan, I used Google Images to find one and saved it to my PC, then uploaded it to GIO for the cover photo. If you're concerned about copyright, make sure the image isn't under copyright protection.

Johanne Tournier All Messages By This Member #20441 Thanks for the tip about Google Images, Donald. ? Further about copyright, I instinctively want to believe that anything I can find on the Web that doesn’t have a watermark or a specific claim of copyright is there for the sharing. But I am always willing and happy to give credit for the source of the image. Am I correct in that instinct? That is, if it doesn’t state somewhere that the author is claiming a copyright, can it most likely be used? Is an acceptable strategy to state whatever is known about the origin of the image and invite the photographer/artist to contact us if there is any objection to its use? ? Any illumination you can shed on this topic is appreciated. ? Johanne ? Johanne L. Tournier Lugosiphilia Listowner Email – jltournier60@... ?

No, that's incorrect.? Unless it specifically says free to use or public domain, you shouldn't use it.

Victoria Member Profile All Messages By This Member #20452 开云体育 Hi, Johanne, ? I don?t use Google Images, so I ?can?t judge about this, but I?d be very careful about copying photos or graphics from the internet into an publicly visible site. ? The authors of pictures have numerous rights under copyright law; at least under German law the author alone determines whether and how his pictures may be used. If he discovers one of his fotos on a site other than his own, he can sue for compensation. This can cost thousands of dollars. ? For my publications I use pixabay. There are millions of pictures for free, but you mus register there. So you are on the safe side. ? Victoria ?

Johanne Tournier All Messages By This Member #20457 开云体育 Hi, Victoria – ? Good to know. Most of my experience comes in the vintage movie field, and in many of those cases the studios that created the images are long gone and the photographers who created portraits in the 1920’s and 1930’s are also long gone. The result, naturally enough, is that there is (or was) a thriving trade in selling duplicates of films and copies of stills, with no royalties paid to anyone. (I have never been in the business, but I know a lot of people who have.) So it is a fairly new thing for me to have to worry about a photographer just waiting in the wings to pounce! ? ? This is a case, I think, of “better safe than sorry” and “a word to the wise,” to recycle a couple of appropriate clichés. ? ? Thanks again! ? Johanne ? Johanne L.

B?rbel Stephenson All Messages By This Member #20458 Sorry to say that Pixabay is also not necessarily safe.? I have heard artists say that they found their images shared there unlawfully by others. I guess a first step must be to look at the uploads by member x and check if the images are similar (= reasonable to think they are done by the same person) or is there such a variety of subjects and styles that it could be simply uploads from different sources from member x (replace x with the name of the member). And get in touch with member x and ask if it is his/her own original photo, painting etc. Making changes to an image with a graphics program like Photoshop, PSP, Gimp etc does not transfer the ? to you. And while e.g. does allow some uses of the images, it explicitly rules out using any image on social media, even a no-no if you give proper credit.

It is worth noting that Mark is one of "the powers-that-be". He has in the past received complaints from copyright holders about some groups using copyright images without permission and his action is (IIRC) swift and decisive. Chris
Victoria Member Profile All Messages By This Member #20465 开云体育 Hi, B?rbel, ? Sorry to say that Pixabay is also not necessarily safe.? I have heard artists say that they found their images shared there unlawfully by others. ? I suppose that in this case pixabay has the problem. My husband and I have a blog and use predominantly pixabay fotos there. We always make sure to sign the foto “permission by pixabay”, which is what they are asking for. ? Victoria
Chromatest J. Pantsmaker All Messages By This Member #20503 I'd flip that belief.? I recommend assuming that any photo that doesn't state that it's free to use, is in fact, not free to use. There are many websites out there that provide copyright-free or creative commons licensed photos.
