Hi all

It's always a good practice to ask before using anyone's image. There's been a lot of discussion her in IDD about just that topic and, though it's obvious that this time it was done with the best of intentions, most artists would definitely not want people doing anything with their work unless prior and specific permission was given.

The images we've used here in the Painter Forum are used with specific permission from the owner to be used in our Challenges and accompanied by a request to credit the owner and display their copyright notice when we post our final images derived from their art or photos.

Let's all just remember to ask and set a good example for those who are unaware of copyright issues.
