Title: Stockphotos for composing?
Post by: Likee68 on July 20, 2017, 09:34
Hello community,

i didn't find a answer to my question so i started a topic.

Is it legal to buy a stockphoto, using this photo for a photoshop-composing and upload this version on a stockphotoagency?

The licence is a royalty free.

Greetings

No, you can not upload images that use parts of copyright images you did not create

Many agencies permit use of public domain images (NASA images for example, with a credit in the description)

You need to check each site's artist upload agreement

No, it is not legal. There are some CC0 license sites where you can find free images to use for your compositions. However, except for NASA, I wouldn't recommend such sites because even there some people upload files taken from other authors. And you never know what you get.

I have found Iselee's images on some of these sites, and this just an example.
