It is about the rights of property, no matter what is the final destination of the product. We can take pictures from any type of blue-jeans, without prior consent of the manufacturer, but for some badges we have to..

The glasses are unique, they are hand made. They don't have the same color, nor the same design. Only the shape is almost the same. Somebody spent a lot of time for making them. I bought them from an antique store. Why is different from badges?

Yes, I have bought full license of Affinity, version 2 and version 1. Also I bought a lot of stuff from Affinity store. I am not a professional artist and I don't earn money from this activity. Is just a passion. I made a lot of pictures in Affinity for my friends without asking for money. I made pictures for schools, kindergarten , hospitals, NGOs.

Let's take some pictures of some glasses from my kitchen. Do I have to ask the permission of the manufacturer? A few weeks ago I went to a demonstration with some military aircrafts. There were hundreds of people that took pictures and in the next seconds I saw them on many social network. Nobody said anything.

As long as I don't say that the pictures are not copyrighted to me or I don't mark them with my logo, I see no problem.

Yes, I bought them from a physical store a long time ago. I put a few in my bike's bags. I gave a part of them as gifts to my nephew. A lot a kids have them on their bagpacks. I saw a lot of pictures with these type of badges on the net and nobody say anything. If I had said that I donwloaded them from the internet, nobody would have said anything. We are living in a strange world.

I understood that. But they are just badges. For example, if I take pictures from my glasses, plates, forks, knives and spoons in order to make some kitchen assets, shall I ask permission from manufacturer? There are thousands of things in this situation. Tulips, for example. If I buy bulbs and after they grow up and I have flowers and I want to take pictures of them to make my own assets, do I have to ask the producer of the bulbs? The same for the badges. As long as I paid the required price for them, I can use them as per my wish. Even to resell them. I don't need the manufacturer approval.

Agreed, but as long as there is no paper with the designer's name and with license and rights, I consider the usage of them under CC or open source.

I bought them from a Chinese store. They are sold at bulk. I am curios if the Chinese manufacturer has a license or rights.

You can find them every where. Btw, there is no license for them, nor rights, nothing. They are common badges used by kids.

I made a smileys assets file. Not the best one, nor the worst. I bought some smileys badges, took a picture of each smiley, and saved it as png. Then I made the assets file. Every smiley can be changed using adjustment layers (HSL, Vibrance, White balance, and so on), and transform options (flip H and V, rotate), The size is 2000x2000 px for each of them. Enjoy!

I used some macros from James Ritson.

I played just a little bit with the picture.

Just playing with the perspective option.

Pictures were taken by phone. Duplicated layer, added Screen or Multiply blend, adjusted opacity between 25 and 80%, then added Enhance Red, Enhance Yellow, Subtle Enhance Blue/ Yellow macros by James Ritson, adjusted opacity between 40 and 70%. Location is Groot Ammers Gelkens, Wilenweg, Sat 5th August, 6 ; 30 am

Just playing with my imagination...

Frosted roses.

I liked the concept. I just added the text in the black ground and, I used the perspective tool. The picture was taken in Schoonhoven-NL.

In this "new" age of world, everything is possible...

Nothing special.

I did it. Thx.

The picture was taken by phone. I edited it a little bit in AP. I used Curves, Levels and Selective colour adjustment and, before I used a Sharpening macro by James Ritson. Below is the original one.

Some images of assets would be nice!

Just one macro is enough. Macro HDR-1 is exactly as in the video. The macro HDR-2 is a little different, I added an extra variable. In order to see the difference, open the Procedural adjustment and you can see the difference between them. In HDR-2 after you open the Procedural adjustment, feel free to make any changes in the formula. Dank u well or Bedankt. I hope it is correct. Also I can say Good Morning, it took me a while to learn it...

Sorry, I do not speak Dutch. I visited NL many times.
