3. FINDING IMAGES YOU CAN USE
Public and open collections
Public Domain images
What is Public Domain?
Where to find Public Domain images
How to figure out if you need permission to use the image
License and usage rights searches (via Google Image, Flickr, Wikimedia Commons)
Understanding alternatively licensed media (e.g., Creative Commons)

4. PUBLIC DOMAIN
works that belong and/or are available to the public as a whole and therefore not subject to copyright.
That includes: anything produced by the U.S. government, AND
Anything where copyright has expired,
Copyright hasn’t been renewed.

5. Don’t just assume all really old things are in the public domain
Digital representations and reproductions may be owned by their museum (or other rights holder)…

7. What other information do they supply about content and context?
When accessing community generated collections like, Flickr ask these questions:
What are the rights reserved? What will I need to do in order to ethically and legally use this work in my own work?
What other information do they supply about content and context?
Attribution information
Copyright info
Usage rights searches … Here is an example of an image:

Understand dpi and how to change it ...
TIFF is a preferable file format

The Reality of Resizing Images in Photoshop (Layers Magazine)
Here is an example of an image:
Download options (what types of files should you want to look for) (jpg, png, tiff) ideal file format is a tiff
Confirming image quality for print
Using photoshop to confirm a 300 dpi image
That’s your resolution and it is the amount of pixels per inch (examples of 72 dpi next to 300 dpi) a 72 dpi might look fine as a web image but it will look super grainy in print.
DPI is so confusing because people forget that the DPI of a digital image is not necessarily the same as the DPI of a print made from that digital image. If the digital image size and the print size are the same, then the DPI of the digital image will be the same as the DPI of the print. But if your print size is different than your digital image size, your digital image will have a different DPI than your print. For example, you may have a digital image that is sized at 4x6 inches, but you may want to make a Photographic Print that is sized at 20x30. Accordingly, in this case, the DPI of your digital image will not be an important factor to consider when p
I’m not a photography expert, but my understanding is that an uncompressed TIFF file will not lose any data -- all components of your image will be preserved. JPEGs might be fine too. Often PNGs are discouraged.
