I enjoyed reading that, though was looking for how to get stock for a project I'm working on. But I'm guessing best bet is ask the artists and work out a deal. You are wrong about having low expectations of others when it comes to copyright. If you don't want your image used you have the right to tell them to remove it, if they don't listen you can take them to court. You can also get royalities on any profit made from your image, this can be backdated.
The point of copyright was set up to encourage us all to be more creative, rather than just be a copy/paste generation. Though I love how we use each others work in creating more art.
What you have to remember is why copyright is there, and just be respectful of the artists and the world will be more colourful

AWESOME tutorial mate!!
Since you shoot with Jpeg. Can you tell me how you colour manage?
I use a canon 5d mk2 and shoot in adobe 1998 with a picture style of Faithful. I use a photovison digital target to expose test and white balance in camera then use the target again in Camera RAW. (I'm a RAW shooter)
My main interest is your picture style setting you use?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers

Very, very informative and extremely useful.
To be brutally honest, I think this is one of the only tutorials that have gotten a DD that I honestly think truly deserves it.
Yes, I'm one of those trolls that hates the DDs, but that's just because my standards are really, really goddamn high.
Which just proves the point that I'm trying to make here...this tutorial is awesome.

I don't particularly care for DDs, myself - what I care about is the occasional comment like "I like that!" or "that helped!"

Awesome tutorial! Just what I needed for my product photography assignment!

Can you make money from stock on Devianat Art? I thought most stock here was free.
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
I don't make money. There are stock photographers who do - there are sites that specialize in selling stock. This isn't one.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
you CAN make donation stocks people have to pay for, but most of the stock on here is free but most dont allow commerical use of it

Thanks for sharing. Since I'm a DA newbie and novice photographer that has contributed a few stock images--nature photographs, mostly; this was very informative. I look forward to trying some of the things you've shared and increasing my stock offerings. Thanks again.
