Its great to see that people dont mind what others do with their sheets but......sorry to put a dampner on this
Those of you that use other peoples work, ie you don't create/draw/photo/paint an image 100% yourself, you need to know if you are allowed manipulation of the creators work.
If the original copyright holder says you have to use it as is, then you cant change it. So its always good to ask before doing anything.
Take the said vase of flowers with the original background, that xxxxxx put on a sheet. They may be using that like it is because the TOU of the photographer/artist etc says it can't be modified. So its fine for it to be used with that background. And the card designer has complied with that TOU.
Then someone buys the designer sheet and cuts out the background, puts in a different background, recolours the flowers in the vase......then that would be a violation of the Photographers TOU. It would be even worse if the person did the manipulation and used that image to design a sheet to put up for sale again.
As designers it would be assumed that they know the copyright information and the Terms of Use for images they use.
So it never hurts to ask I wouldn't think the designer if its Ok to change their images.
