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)

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.

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)…

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: https://archive.org/details/meggieofthepines00bakeiala

Additional resources for finding images Public Domain & Creative Commons Media Resources, Harvard Law Library Guide. Finding Images for Publication, Johns Hopkins Libraries. Can I use that picture?

Additional resources on formatting images Ensure your image is 300 dpi/ppi Understand dpi and how to change it ... TIFF is a preferable file format Where to find and change this information in Photoshop Quick videos and guides: From Pixels to Print Resolution and print sizes explained The Reality of Resizing Images in Photoshop (Layers Magazine) Here is an example of an image: https://archive.org/details/meggieofthepines00bakeiala 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. https://www.iprintfromhome.com/mso/understandingdpi.pdf 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.
