Hi :) I am very new to Graphic River, and i am wanting to make Poster Templates. I like creating artwork from photo collage eg this is an artwork of mine:

Photobucket

And just wondering if i need Extended Licence for every small photo i am using? (or reseller rights images?)

Example i really like this artist: sevenstyles

The photos of flowers,trees, fruits, and all other small photo . will each of these images all be Extended Lisenced?

And if i can get some opinions/advice about my artwork and weather it will get rejected, that will be great :)) thankyou

Patience my friend, not the wrong topic here, just a bad time of posting: very late night in Europe, and late Sunday evening in the US … :)

As far as I’m aware if you want to include images in your download you need to have commercial use licence. It is a limiting factor, but that’s just how it goes, I also spend huge amount of time finding commercial use images of good enough quality to include in my downloads as the price of an extended licence usually does not justify itself compared to the sales I will make on an item…

Cheers

Chris

Hi chrisatlemon :) Thankyou so much for your reply! And very sorry for being inpatient i totally forgot it was international… it was monday midday in Aus :) Ive only ever bought Royalty Free images for my freelance work so it is the first time i learnt about Extended License ..And they are Soo expensive! its gonna cost me hundreds by the time i finish my artwork… hehee I only found 1 website that is absolute free and can use it and sell them in templates : [] maybe everybody knows :P (*definately not an Affiliate site..)

Link removed

So buying extended license or Reseller right images only the way to go? or can i Cut out and use a use just a part of a photo is that still illigal.. :’(

Hehe, I sometimes forget this is Australian! :)

Licenses are a vast field and it’s very complicated and very expensive :( I think that even royalty free does not mean that you can use it in commercial projects. You need an explicit commercial license. And yes in most cases it is very expensive.

Your case is special, as a collage of many images will of course cost you a ton of money.

What most people here do is that they buy simple licenses and used images in their Previews. Then the downloadables only have image placeholders.

Personally I don’t like this, I prefer to be able to sell What I am showing in my preview. But I do understand that this is complicated, especially if images of people are involved.

That’s why, as I said above, I spend a lot of time chasing commercial use images.

I’m not sure if it’s acceptable to link to outside resources on this forum? Otherwise I’d leave a few tips here.

You can always mail me through my profile, I’m happy to share my resources with you. Beware though, no magic there, I’m always on the lookout and always chasing myself.

It’s not so difficult finding free commercial license imagery. It is however very difficult to find free commercial license imagery of outstanding quality.

And no, I don’t think cutting an image in half will give you any leeway under licence … On the contrary, many images have a licence which does not allow you to alter them in anyway.

Licenses and copyright law are an ocean!

Cheers

ohh copy right laws… supose its good.. hehee I just checked and i think the link was okay? in the Forum rules i only found : DO NOT Post any threads discussing or link to piracy and/or warez sites. These do more damage than good and will be locked or disabled. Report any copyright, piracy, or warez violations to Envato Support, and see our wiki section on Copyright Support.

:) if you can share your resorces that will be so nice of you I may msg u later! Thankyou So much for your help here Chris! i really appreciate :)

Good Night

Hi Airi, welcome to the forums, how are you? I’ve edited the item links included in your post, by linking the author’s name/profile instead.

Regarding outside sources, just make sure they are not “promoting outside services or competitors” or “give away free files to the community”.

- Because of the commercial nature of the Envato networks, authors are expected to understand and respect the fact that using the forum to post links to one’s own items, or to give away free files to the community, is not allowed. This practice effectively undercuts the hard work of all authors who wish to sell their items fairly, and as such it is not tolerated.

Thanks for your understanding.

Does anyone know of any good placeholder images or layouts that I can use for my downloadable files?

i also have a question.

since i am a photographer as well can i use my own images and include them in download and sell that design as exclusive here on graphicriver? and can i sell that photos individually on other stock sites as well.

i cannot somehow get an answer from support about that.

design template made of that photos would be exclusive? but the photos would be sold elsewhere. or every part of the design needs to be exclusive? it doesn't make sense to me since usually designers have to obtain licence for an image but that particular image is sold elsewhere anyway from other designers and is not exclusive to graphicriver.

i would appreciate some advice.
