I have used a crop of a computerised image of one of Lowry’s factory gate pictures on a couple of my articles, usually those about workers rights. I am unsure of the images copyright status and so had a lock on the web. Tineye finds very little and wikipedia only references “Going to Work”. Here…
Read morePixabay’s Content licence
The featured image comes from pixabay and is credited to Heike Baerbel. It has been shrunk. It’s use is controlled by the Pixabay Content licence. … This seems to be aimed at ensuring that pictures in the database are not used to earn an income. The wording on this restriction was unclear to me, and so…
Read moreMonet & the 4 Trees
The 4 trees is one of Claude Monet‘s famous paintings. I need to do a project on it but I also found some useful comments on copyright on the wikipedia page hosting the image.

I am building a web site for my business and need to document the image credits, it would seem. Here are my notes …
Read moreFeatured images in wordpress
My current theme for the blog is not so good when the included text is not as deep as the featured picture. While not having a featured picture is OK for a screen based reader, it’s not so good for those using the wptouch interface. Maybe it’s not so good for deep pictures either. I…

Read moreCircular Icons for Objectdock
I use objectdock free on one of my XP systems and have just decided to install NWN2 complete. This meant I needed an icon for program launcher bar; actually it didn’t because the icon the GOG version ships with is fine. In order to prove this to myself I used google to look for some…
Read moreEXIF and MacOS X
I have listened to Stop 43, and the British Journal of Photography I have read what Tim Bray has to say and decided I may need to ensure that my picture’s EXIF data is accurate. You can’t give away what you don’t own, and it seems you need to assert ownership of pictures. The way…
Read moreUsing “boomy” icons with tcl/tk
I spent some time over the last few days trying to populate the TK images folder with a usable image library. It seems we can now use .png//.jpg. Jan 2023.

This was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 26th July. It’s all a bit redundant now, but it might be useful for others. This was a pagfe that documented my work in building the configuration and in some places represented a work in progress. In some cases, the resolution is not documented and in…
