Copyrighted Image Usage
I am currently in the process of putting together some really unique collages that combine real life photos and vector graphics, each design will be based around either a music group/artist or a film.
Obviously i understand that if i were to print (say for example) an image of Elvis there would obviously be copyright issues regarding that image however where do i stand if i do a lot of editing to that image and the final image/print that is to be sold is no longer a true reflection of the original image.
Am i right in thinking that as soon as an image has been edited, transformed, twisted, tinted and combined with other images to form a unique collage the image is no longer copyright as it is a totally new and unique image and hence no longer the same as the original???
