Stock Photos for Derivative Works

For anyone who has used free photos in the past from sxc.hu (stock.xchng) to do photomanipulations using Adobe Photoshop Elements (or other similar softwares) and which photos were listed as being offered "without restrictions," please note that all photos are now labeled "Standard Restrictions Apply." A Policies Forum question by someone who has been using the previously tagged restriction-free photos for such photomanipulations prompted the following response by an attorney at that site:
"What you are creating is known under copyright law as a "derivative work". For reasons that totally escape me, the license provided to users of photos from this site [sxc.hu] do not authorize the creation of derivative works. Thus, from a legal standpoint you would need to contact the uploader and secure his/her permission."

Hi, Ward -- Michael Slonecker, who provided the comment I quoted, appears to be the closest the SXC Forum - Policy section - comes to having an official legal spokesman.
It's interesting that the reply you received to your email instructed you to look under the image to determine whether the image is restricted or not, since ALL the images since 2/1/07 include "Standard Restrictions Apply." None of them now state that the photo is restriction free. The only place you might see a related comment is on the photographer's personal information page. If you click on the link under the photo, you are taken to the long list of do's and don'ts. It is that list that the attorney was commenting upon. I believe his interpretation was that if the list did NOT state that you could use the photos for derivative works (which it does not), then you must request permission to use the photo for that unlisted purpose.
I don't have a problem notifying the photographers that I used their photos; but if I had to wait until I received permission, the weekly Challenge would be over.
I guess with their site now, you just roll the dice and take your chances.
Thanks for adding your comments!

  • BADI for Updating work order component data

    Hi,
    I need to update the field special stock indicator for the work order component data when it is saved. I am using the BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE for the same, but when I implemented the ZWORKORDER_UPDATE_IM using the standard defenition  WORKORDER_UPDATE , the code does not allow me to change the it_component internal table belonging to the BEFORE_UPDATE method. Could you please help me in this.
    Basically if we are implementing a standard defenition how to change the parameters of the methods in it.

    Hi ,
    It is giving the below dump. The parameter is importing parameter and it does not allow to change even using field symbol. Is there any other way. Is there an user exit which will be called when pressing enter button in component screen. The exit EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 did not work for this.

  • Looking for Vidoe Backgrounds for Chromakey work

    I am an instructor at a technical college and I am using Premiere CS3. We have been experimenting with green screen chromakeying using Premiere. We currently use only stock photos for our backgrounds but now we are looking for suggestions for where to find collections of video backgrounds that will be formatted in a way that is supported by Premiere CS3. We tried using free online sources like Youtube, but we could only download them as flash files and Premiere does not accept it. I was hoping to here from people who have actually used some professional quality video backgrounds and who can give me good advice such as prices, file sizes, quality levels, best ways to shoot green screen footage for the backgrounds, etc... If anyone has a good source for video backgrounds and a good recipe for using them, I would really appreciate the advice.
    Thanks.

    I use iStock.com. It's cheap and good, and good quality. We do a series of greenscreen shoots of people at a desk, and key in panoramic pics of skylines to make them look like they are in a skyscraper. With panoramic pics you move them slightly when you change angles, or do cutaways. Or you could use those ridiculous virutal sets from Serious Magic , I mean Adobe.

  • SAP Mobile app Stock photo not work for network location

    Hi Experts
    I found if we use network location path (e.g.
    servername\pic folder\) in SAP Business One General Settings -> Path, Picture Folder, then if we logon SAP B1 Mobile app from iPad/iPhone, and try to open stock photo, we will get error:
    Processing Failed
    Internal server error: contact your system administrator
    It looks like it only work for local path, e.g C:\pic
    Even we put path as :
    local pc name\pic folder, it is also not work.
    Any idea about this?
    Thanks

    The first link is a temporary fix for a machine that only one or two people will use. This will not fix the Library Machines that some 3000 users can use at anytime. I can not pre-add all these users every time we image a machine. We also loan out laptops and I need these machine to wirelessly login dynamically to the domain. But I also need these machine to allow access if these machine are removed from our campus and the wireless access is not available.
    Thank again for the help and I hope someone at Apple can fix this soon. I going to have a hard time telling the client that thay can not use the OS that came with they're machine.

  • Bridge CS4 - I still can't move keywords for stock photos

    I'm on a Mac Pro, Leopard 10.5.8, 4G RAM.
    I buy a lot of stock photos. The stock photo companies have thoughtfully assigned a bunch of keywords to the photos, sometimes in other languages that I don't really speak. Photos.com is notorious for applying keywords that have nothing to do with the photo, as evidenced my my searches for certain keywords. I wish they'd all stop doing this.
    When these photos are opened, their keywords appear under "Other Keywords." I can make the keyword permanent under "Other Keywords," but I am unable to drag the keyword(s) into the main keyword list in an effort to GET RID OF this "Other Keywords" list.
    I was hoping this was addressed in Bridge CS4, but of course it wasn't...UNLESS...
    someone here knows how to do it?

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed?

    On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed? It used to fully lay out the photos so I could add notes and detailed information before I sent them. I am thinking it is something simple that I have just missed...

    The "Photos" view has been replaced by the Media Browser.
    Most applications will show you the Photos icon in the Sidebar, when you need to select photos in a file chooser dialoge. Mail, Safari, the iWork apps. See Terence Devlin's User Tip: How to Access Files in iPhoto
    For example, in the File > Open dialogue in Preview I am seeing this in the sidebar.

  • Flash for Photo Booth not working.  Can it be fixed?

    My flash in Photo Booth stopped working--can it be fixed?  And if so, can a local computer store do it?

    Apple doesn't fix phones, they replace them.  Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.  Damage to the camera by the excessive heat has voided your warranty.

  • How to connect MAPL and PLPO to derive work center for planned order

    Hi,
    Anybody know how to derive work center using MAPL and PLPO for planned order (PLAF). Is there any connecting table between MAPL and PLPO.
    Please help asap.
    Regards,
    Mitali

    I guess u r trying to view the detail scheduling info (tab in MD13) for a planned order . In that case -
    1. Go to PLAF and enter the planned order number. (PLAF-PLNUM) and get the ID of the capacity requirements record (PLAF-BEDID).
    2. With this PLAF-BEDID go to KBED. pass the value here. KBED-BEDID. The KBED-ARBID values are your work center ID.
    3. To get the work center texts ( the way is appears in the screen) - Pass this value to CRHD . CRHD-OBJTY = 'A' ( i.e Type work center) and CRHD-OBJID = KBED-ARBID.
    Hope it solves ur prob.
    Cheers

  • In Adobe Stock Photos, what does BEER (in the file BEER.dll and in the beerResponse.log) stand for?

    Hello! I have installed the trial version of Adobe Creative Suite CS3 a long time ago and I have always wanted to know what the BEER in BEER.dll (a part of Adobe Stock Photos software) stands for. I have searched the web and never found a clear answer. It creates a file called beerResponse.log and I would like to know if it is some kind of acronym and if it is what does it stand for?
    If someone could help that would be great.

    I don’t know and it doesn’t matter. That service died a very fast death.

  • Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

    iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
    Anyway to go back to ios6?

    Can you tell me how to do that and how to do it without erasing his actual photos which are intermingled?

  • Looking for stock Photo app replacement

    I have all of my photos organized on my iMac by year and event, something like:
    2013
    ├── Dads_Birthday
    ├── Christmas
    ├── Fathers_Day
    ├── Memorial_Day
    ├── Miscellaneous
    ├── Mothers_Day
    └── Valentines_Day
    Is there an iPhone photo app which will allow me to maintain my directory hierarchy, and also provide the sorely need search capability that the stock Photo app lacks?  Will iPhoto for iOS allow me to maintain my directory hirearchy, and search for photos?

      It's really stupid not to have a search feature -- iPhoto on the Mac does.
    Send feedback to Apple and let the developers know. Here is the feedback form:
    iPhoto Feedback
    right now, it is really the best strategy to organize photos in iPhoto on your mac and to sync the organized albums to the IOS devices.
    Regards
