Guest LJHawk Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hello, I'm a newbie at dig scrapping, and have completed a couple of 12x12 layouts, stored them on my harddrive. I do not have a wide format printing and am thinking of using an online professional printing service. My question: In a couple I have used photos that a professional photographer have taken. Will a printing service print my layouts without any copyright problems? Thank, LJHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank, LJHawk[/quote] Hopefully not...but sadly most labs and printers do not block the reproduction of copyrighted photographs. You [i]do[/i] need to contact your photographer for permission before scanning/reproducing the image. Most of the time they will be fine with it...but you have to ask.

Wxchic Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Welcome to both of you! I don't know much about this as I print my own layouts, but I have heard that sometimes Walmart won't even print photos that YOU took because they LOOK too professional! So go figure! I think that if the photo looks professional, you need permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am exploring digital scrapbooking as a way to create unique albums for my clients. This site seems to be very informative and I think I'll get a lot out of it. Thanks again for the welcome!

As a photographer you may be interested in learning about Heritage Makers, an on-line publishing co. that would allow you to create beautiful hardbound books for your clients.
