I am currently taking a beginning adult education Photoshop class at a local community college. While I don’t own PS, I do have PS Elements that came bundled with my film scanner.
I have been follwing a few of the recent threads on various newsgroups regarding the copyrighting on photographs. I will be starting a class project soon and the Instructor keeps reiterating that no copyrighted images will be used. To be honest I am confused on a few points and I do not want to violate any copyrights.
My questions/comments are as follows:
1.) I need a picture of an alligator or crocodile. I Googled the image section and found a few. I disregarded sites that had a copyright protection notice as I do not have time to contact the copyright holder for permission to use them.
2.) What about the rest. If there is no copyright notice, is copyright assumed. In other words is every image assumed to have copyright protection at the time a shutter is pushed or does an image have to be registered at the Library of Congress to have copyright protection. If the former, does that mean that no image obtained from the internet can be used?
3.) Tonight after work I will be searching back issues of magazines for anything good to scan for class. I understand that if I bought the magazine or book I can use the image.
4.) None of my work will be available for sale. That’s because I am still a "rank" amatuer 🙂
Thanks,
