Using Stock Photos in Designs
April 10th 2008
If you are going to use stock photos in your designs you need to check the license of the photo/image that you are using!! There are some images that are under Creative Commons, but there are different types of CC licenses that will allow you to remix the piece, adapt the work into yours, use it for profit, etc.
If you are going to use it for personal uses only, then that is not a problem. When you are going to use any image or photo for commercial purposes or for public release, then you do need to look at the licenses carefully to avoid any potential legal problems.
