We will not use images under copyright.\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public domain<\/a> is anything older than 95 years, anything produced by or for the US government, or some items whose copyright was never secured.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/\">Creative commons<\/a> licenses are generally used to allow non-profit educational use of images with photo credits. Wikipedia images are usually CC.<\/li>\n<li>Searching for\u00a0 images, use &#8220;Tools&#8221; in Google to isolate CC images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong>\u00a0 Working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/WCAG20\/\">W3C accessibility guidelines<\/a> <span style=\"color: #444444;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #444444;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Simply put, it&#8217;s not hard to write something into the &#8220;alt&#8221; tags that describe your photo, and its very useful for anyone with vision problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ethics:<\/strong> The media can be powerful and with power comes responsibility. If you have questions about ethical issues, refer to our pages on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/WCAG20\/\"> images and ethics.<\/a>\u00a0 The basic principles of image ethics include accurate attribution,\u00a0 truthfulness in editing,\u00a0 minimizing harm, and ensuring full and accurate context in captions, cutlines and credit lines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Press:\u00a0<\/strong> Images taken in an open public setting can be made public for news, commentary, and other public interest purposes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy: <\/strong>Commercial use of a person&#8217;s image is called\u00a0 misappropriation and can result in civil lawsuits. So you can&#8217;t just use someone&#8217;s <em><strong>name, image or likeness<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 (NIL) for advertising without securing a model release.\u00a0 Also, photos taken in areas where privacy can reasonably be expected should not be made public.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Responsibility:<\/strong> You are in effect a publisher of your web pages, so you are responsible for the content. Libel, privacy and copyright are potential issues, but with a little foresight, you can avoid problems. The law strongly protects responsible free expression.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Obscene images:\u00a0<\/strong> Obscene images can harm people and are<strong><em> not permitted<\/em><\/strong> on web sites for this class.\u00a0 Obscenity is no longer prosecuted under most state laws, but it is not protected under the First Amendment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>The rest of this section:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>2.2 <a href=\"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/pixels-2b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixels and resolutions\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.3 <a href=\"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/formats-2c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">File formats\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.4 <a href=\"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/editors\/\">Image editors\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.5 <a href=\"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/upload-2d\/\">Uploading images to a web site\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2.1 INTRODUCTION\u00a0 \u00a0 In Section 2 we will learn basic concepts of image editing for the web, including ethical use of images; using image editors like Photoshop and Gimp; and optimizing, formatting and uploading images.\u00a0 Then we will go through &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/2-1_intro\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page.php","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-428","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3752,"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/428\/revisions\/3752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revolutionsincommunication.com\/viscomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
