The copyright law protects the creator or
owner of an image so that the same image cannot be used by others. But if you
were to take an image to create a graphic in a piece of software such as Photoshop,
it then can be claimed as your own and doesn’t go as a breach of the copyright
law. However if your image is created for or commissioned for a third party
such as your job, copyright is then owned by that third part for example the
company or boss who you work under.
Copyright can last for as long as the
creator is alive but also carries on 70 years after the creator’s death. If
someone wishes to use your image or to gain permission to advertise it then
they must contact the owner or creator directly as to whether or not they are
allowed to use it.
