it's best to assume that all pictures are copyright protected coming from a website.\n\ni recommend contacting each website (if you REALLY want to do it correct) and request them allowing you to use the pictures.\n\nmostly, you need to just document where the picture is from.  you would either do that next to each picture on the slide, or have a slide at the end saying where each picture came from.

Open it with MS Piant which comes bundled with the OS. Start -> Programs->Accessories-> Paint. \nYou can alos download Irfan View and open .jpg files with it.\nPowerpoint is not an imaging software. Use any imaging software, all of them suppport .jpg format files

The copyright does belong to the photographer, unless that person has assigned rights, and then the copyright belongs to the current rightsholder.\n\nYou may have your own state rights, such as a right of publicity, that could keep others from distributing photos where you are the subject. \n\nIn general, though, just because you're in the picture does not mean you have the copyright.\n\nAnd yes, there is a copyright, even if the photograph or the page does not say so.

Here you go\nhttp://www.indezine.com/products/powerpoint/ppvideo.html\n\nI assume you aren't breaching any copyright by using the video in this way? If you are then don't do it.\n\n///

All creative works are automatically copyrighted by their creators as soon as they are produced, be it writing, music, or images. You can only freely use images that specifically state they are free for anyone to use. Do a search for "free images" to find them. You can not take an image to use simply because it's online. This is a copyright violation and its creator can take legal action if s/he so chooses.

No. You are creating a backup copy in case the hard copy is damaged. *wink, wink* Seriously though, as long as you're not making it publicly available I don't think that would be considered copyright infringement.

The easiest solution is to use an online image converter. They are very easy to use; just go to one of the example websites below. The process is very intuitive.\n\nExamples:\n\nhttp://www.catenarysystems.com/demos/convert/convert.aspx\nhttp://www.dvdsmiles.com/Default.aspx?Content=ConvertImage\n\nIf you would prefer to use software which would ensure that your images are kept private, try using something like  Paint.NET ( http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ )

Somewhat, you can make it very difficult for them.  You can use a flash album creator to make the picture show in flash.  The user can still do a screen shot capture but it will be lower quality.  The best solution is to use flash and then put a watermark over the picture that says sample or even your web @dress. So even if they steal it , it has your logo/addess over the front of it.

They probably have a copy-protection software on it. Anyways that is illegal. That is copyright.

Excuse me, how will you download the Avatar?\nYou can download the Image. If you edit then , I don't think it will be illegal unless you use it for commercial purpose.

I don't think it is classed as copyright but if you make a copy and send it to yourself by registered post, you have some sort of proof you owned it before making it public.  but then again, why make it public in the first place?  \nWhen the tape arrives through the postal system, DON'T open the packet!!!

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Hiding a website? Who are you hiding it from and why would you want to hide it? (Er, don't let them see your monitor?)  I've never seen a graphic which states "I got my graphic at..."\n\nAre you talking about watermarks in pictures?  If so, a picture editor like Photoshop can clean up the pictures, but you'd have to be desperate and patient to get rid of the marks.  That's the whole point of watermarks:  They are there for copyright reasons and to make people pay for them.  Go to the website and purchase it or find a Photoshop expert.\n\nDo you have any examples?

Perhaps the program you are using to open the file does not support opening the jpeg...\n\nOtherwise if it is a file on your computer and it says it is corrupt, good chance your Hard Drive is going bad, or you have a virus eating away at  your files...\n\nTry finding the picture you have, right click it, and open it with (CHOOSE PROGRAM>>> WINDOWS PICTURE/FAX VEIWER...\n\nOtherwise scan your pc for viruses... http://www.download.com search for and download AVG and update it, then scan...\n\nAlso run a disk check.\n\nLast but not least, if it is on a floppy diskette and not on your pc, theres a good chance the floppy is screwed, dont use floppies any more, they are not reliable...\n\nIf on a CD, perhaps the cd is scratched etc...

if the group images are public ... you may transfer them on your hosting servers (if you have one) ...\ndirectly to them.\n\nif the group images require authentication , then you can make a script that uses the curl library and login with that and "wget" the photos to your hosting servers ...\n\nso , a hosting server would be a secure location ... at least that's my opinion.

There is some outrageously bad advice above. \n\nYou unquestionably violate the copyright of the photographer when you reprint it without authorization, regardless of the fact that it's on a web page. Further, you violate the copyright of the web page author.\n\nThe only exception to the rule is what's known under the copyright law as a fair use...  and what you've described is unlikely to qualify.

If it's from a copy righted picture, then absolutely NO, not without permission. If you're just painting them as you see them it's OK, because they've put themselves into the public domain. It's legal, b/c almost none have their image copy-righted.
