There are situations when you need photos on a specific topic, but don’t seem to have proper ones or the ones of the high quality. What is the easiest thing one can think of? To take someone else’s photos and claim them as your own. This is definitely not a fair decision, but how else can you upload attractive photos to your website trying to promote your business? Or how can you add some great images to your collection? The first advice we can give you – ask for permission. If you use a copyrighted work without authorization, the owner may be entitled to bring an infringement action against you. There are circumstances under the fair use doctrine where a quote or a sample may be used without permission. However, in cases of doubt, authorized officials recommend that permission be obtained. Chances are that a photographer will be happy to help you even for free. Sometimes just adding a photographer’s name on your website will help him in career advancement, so instead of infringing on copyright make friends with someone whose photos you like. If this is not an option, but you really need someone’s photos, ImageConverter Plus can also help. When you take someone’s photo there are metadata available – EXIF and IPTC. Professional photographers usually take extra steps for copyrighting their images adding their signature or logo on each photo, but an average photographer is less careful. ImageConverter Plus cannot remove any watermarks from images in case they exist, but the software can edit EXIF and IPTC data the way you wish. It doesn’t matter what the original image contains – camera model, the date when the image was taken, information about the author, etc. Open ImageConverter Plus, add the image of interest and choose what you want to do with the metadata. You can edit a lot – change camera model, date – really anything that is possible to edit so that the image looks as if it were taken by you personally. Again, it is not nice to claim the authorship this way, but just in case you absolutely have to…
