Report on Souring Images
In this brief report I will
be discussing how to source images as there are millions of images on the
website, however when using images there are certain rules that need to be
followed due to copyright obligations. There are numerous stock image libraries
that people can use images from for their own reasons and there are licenses
that you have to permit to use them; depending on the image they are different
ones, such as on Getty Images there are two licenses.
These licenses differ as
the royalty-free license is based on the size and it means that you have
unlimited use of the image you want once you have obtained the license. The
other, is a rights-managed license which is based on usage of the image and it
means that these images are from the premier collections and have a high
production value. Both of these licenses also differ in terms of pricing, as
the pricing for the rights-managed license is based on the usage specifications
whereas the royalty-free pricing is decided on the particular image you use.
Another stock image
library that is often used is Flickr; once again they also have their own
Creative Commons licensing which need to be obligated to. There are 4 licenses,
attribution license allows people to use your image as long as credit is given
to the owner and the non-commercial license again gives permission for usage
for non-commercial purposes. The no derivative
works license prevents people from editing/changing your work and only use the
exact copy of the image unedited. The final license is the share alike, which
allows other to distribute copies of the image but is overseen. Flickr is an
easy website to use as the advanced search engine allows you to have the option
straightaway of using images that use the Creative Commons license and allows
you to manage whether they are to use commercially or to be used and edited.
