Sabretalon: I'm not taking that as a rant, no problem - it is not so easy to understand (and truely, I'm also don't understand most of this stuff at all - lol) this image-rights-thing. **************** In brief you said you can not use someone famous and then 2 paragraphs later you state that you use Shania Twain? Is she not famous? **************** Oh, yes - she is and it is NOT right what I did at my website-tutorial - but as this is only my problem - now if this tutorial comes out and someone wants to host it - it is also the problem of the one who is hosting (or printing) it - I don't want to have any legal rights problems with this tutorial - that's all. ***************** If you are only using the "pose" what does it matter what they look like or if they are famous, how can you copyright the way someone poses (hey don't walk like that, that is my walk I swear I'll sue) ***************** afaik this doesn't matter - If I don't have the right to use I am not allowed to use it ... but - anyone who knows exactly about it - please correct me if I'm wrong :-) ****************** I understand that you intend to use in a magazine, have you ever tried to contact the copyright holder for the image of the famous person(s) to see if you could use it? ****************** No, but this would include a lot of work - I thought making them new from scratch (the images) would be easier. ****************** There are some royalty free images that you could probably use, you may have to pay for some though. ****************** Do you know any source ?? If so, please fire me a link over ... ****************** Your poses BTW are excellent and I do know what it is like to get (or not) reference materials. ****************** Oh - thx :o) ****************** I am not ranting at this post I am just pointing out were my confusion came from, from your original message. Please do not take this the wrong way and keep up the excellent work you do. ****************** Oh - don't worry - that's why I try to explain this and that here. Hope it helped Schlabber
