Photoshop?

if i get a picture from the internet and photoshop it does it make the end result my picture?Photoshop?
I work as a designer at a tv station - the rule of thumb we are given is we can use graphics from the internet as sources, but they have to be so modified that they are not recognizable are the original.





Also, there are many graphics on the internet that are public domain ... that you can use freely.Photoshop?
No it doesn't. Its not all original no matter how much to try to change it. Out of respect for the person the picture it belongs to, I would ask permission to use their image, especially if you planning to show it anywhere. people would normally appreciate that nine times out of ten and allow it. If you want the work to be original, what ever it is research it, do loads of searches, and create your own work born from you inspired by others. Art is born out of imagination and inspiration.
It depends on how much it's altered. If you change a color or a little of this or that, then no it's still theirs. But if you swirl it or distort it to where you can not even tell where it came from or what it originally was I'd say yes, do with it what you will.
no its not yours if its still recognisable. however if you dont distribute it publically, then theres no problems with using it if you're worried about getting sued for copyright
doubt it, it's like remixing a tune
No - even if you just use someone elses picture as the basis for an illustration they are still the originator of that image.





Think of if this way - you do a drawing of the mona lisa, everyone is going to know it is the mona lisa and that you did not create and original piece of art. If you take the actual Mona Lisa and draw a moustache on it, that does not make it your painting.





Just becasue your source is not well known does not detract from the fact that it is not actually yours.
NO the picture belongs to the person that took it. Just making changes to it doesn't make it yours. You can use elements of a photo to create something new. For example lets say you wanted to use a unique clock from a picture and insert it into your own work. The end product would be unique and you could claim it as your own.
no, the copyright still resides with the owners of the original image.
