Photoshop :: Copyright Advice On Colourised Images
Mar 14, 2004
I posted a copyright notice on my webpage asking people specifically not to abuse the copyright of my colourised images. These images are mainly 1900-1950's actresses, you know the sort of thing, Lillian Gish - Liz Taylor. Anyway, someone on the Louise Brooks forum said a friend had questioned my right to colourise these images in the first place, then claim copyright on what I had done. Now I don't want to be in the wrong, not to mention claim what I don't have a right to. Can someone "briefly" advise here. All I am saying, basically, is please do not use my work on your webpage, without asking.
If I have no right to ownership, should I remove my newly uploaded website and images? There are so many others on the net that I feel the "original" owners accept that's how it is. After all, I have never in 8 years of being online heard of any complaints, not to mention prosecutions.
whilst looking at watermarking techniques in PS6, I have inadvertantly added "Copyright Eric Hall" which is attached to all of the images I convert from RAW to JPEG. All of the images I upload to Facebook have this copyright notice attached.
I bought a full copy of Photoshop 7 some years ago and have bought all the upgrades right up to CS3. Does that allow me now to purchase CS4 (when its released) as an upgrade to CS3 or do I have have to go back to buying a full copy of CS4?
I'm planning to do some giclee prints involving scans of original watercolour paintings of botanical subjects. Because of the nature of the subject, 90% of the content of the image is actually the original art paper with nothing on it.
The 'nothing' still has a colour of course (creamy off-white), and when I print on to a similarly-coloured fine art inkjet paper I get a darker background than the original because I'm effectively finishing up with two lots of background. Is there a way I can make the background a lighter shade that doesn't involve use of one of the selection tools?
Im looking to buy a graphics tablet instead of using a mouse. Are all tablets compatible with photoshop, what is the best size working area to get and can anyone recommend me a tablet thats not to expensive as im on a budget.
40+ years ago I bought a book from a dealer who sold antique Scottish books. It is A4 in size and has 400 B/W photographs of Scotland.
There is no date in the book but the pictures are late 19th century & early 20th century. There is a reference in it regarding the opening of a new railway line. That line was opened in 1908 and I'm guessing the book is circa 1910.
A few years ago I scanned into my computer several of the views. Like a lot of early photographs the skies are almost non existent. I took out the castles, bridges, etc and made up my own skies in KPT 6.
The finished results are A3 in size.
My question is - is the copyright still valid on the book or am I free to do whatever I want with them?
By the way the company who photographed and published the book is still in existence. Also I'm from Scotland but I'm curious as to how the book would stand regarding copyright throughout the world.
I'm looking to build a new system (X48 motherboard, Q9450 quad core proc, 8GB ECC RAM, Vista64). I'd like to run with only 2 drives to keep the system relatively quiet but realize that a 3 drive config would be better for Photoshop performance. I do some photo editing and Web work with Photoshop so I'm not working with very large files but I do tend to have a lot of files and apps open at the same time.
I understand most of the idea about not taking other peoples work without asking, but am I able to put my name and logo on a picture I take, just cause I can, or is there a process I need to go through...My photo digital teacher saying that me being so young I have a chance to grow and I was thinking this could be a lil confedence boost, plus I am trying to get some stuff I make all bundled together to where I can jus print them out as needed and it would seem more professional to have a copyright.
My first question is, does anyone know the legality's of taking an image with a watermark on it, changing it with photoshop and removing the watermark?
Granted, I know that the watermark is there to prevent a picture as being claimed by someone else. However if that picture is changed and no longer the original, is it then fair game to remove the watermark?
I created a custom brush with my logo on it and then created an action that puts my copyright logo as watermark. The problem is copyright logo gets placed on different places on different size image. For example, I created the action to put logo on the lower right hand corner of a standard 800x640 pixel horizontal image. When I run this action on a vertical image, logo gets placed somewhere on the top. If the image is in higher resolution, logo gets placed somewhere in the middle.
How can I modify the action so the copyright logo gets placed in the same place? I guess I am thinking if there is a way I could calculate the image size and put the logo from certain percentage away from the lower end corner automatically?
It's an e-commerce site for some sports related jewelry that he made, and he wants to protect the logos we worked on and the site design. What I've usually seen are people slapping a copyright date on their work and calling it good. However, I don't think that's really going to protect anything from being ripped off. I'm looking at websites and what it looks like is that I have to get an attorney and file some paperwork with the US Copyright Office.
I am wonder what are the copyright laws on artwork from painters in the past. I'm doing some pictures for tshirts and I want to use art work from the different periods from history. Like works for cezanne, picasso, monet, etc. How does copyright work for artists like these? I'm not planning on just sticking the painting on the tshirt, but probably modifying it bit to fit what I want. Any ideas regarding this?
Where can I change this so that all photos taken this year have the correct copyright date? Did I enter this text somewhere? In some Preferences panel? If so, I can't find it. I have set this to 2012 on the camera, so it's not coming from there. Searching Adobe Photoshop produces nothing useful. Searching the system for the character string produces nothing. Where does this come from?

I've heard of a way to make an invisible watermark but I cant figure it out. I just need a way to put my name on an image without it interfering with the content of the image. Is there any way to do something like that!
Objective - Reduce 20 images from 300dpi tif's to 72dpi jpeg [for emailing] with a copyright notice on the bottom of frame.
How I attempted to make it work...
Downsizing to jpeg from tif was not a problem with an action.
Created a new text image- A copyright notice was made up as another separate file. Then I had the image and the text notice visible in PS.
Recorded an action and dragged the copyright notice into the jpeg image. It works for the image i am working on but will not reproduce itself on subsequent images when the action is supposed to run.
Can it be done when I down size from tif > jpeg or do I need to do it once they are all jpeg's? Of course the final image will be a flattened layer.
I have a brush set to do this but it is VERY time consuming. So, I need to find out how to design a copyright notice and then batch stamp it onto a folder of photos. I have tried and tired to figure this out but not getting anywhere. I am going to either to one across the middle very opaque or I want it down the side of the photo. Then I want to save the batch into a new file and keep the originals intact for printing, etc. I am using PhotoShop CS.
Popular photography recently published an article on how to create your own personalized copyright brush, however, I can't get it to work. how to create a copyright brush?
