Copyright protects creative or artistic works. You should only copy or use a copyrighted work with the copyright owner's permission. You can copyright various work such as, literature, drama, music, art, layouts, recordings and broadcasts. Breaching the copyright act is an illegal criminal offence. Copyright does not protect ideas for a work. However, when an idea is fixed, for example in writing, copyright automatically protects it. This means that you do not have to apply for copyright.
Some images can be copyright free which mean the image can be used by anyone for any purpose at all. The following link is an example of copyright free work, http://www.copyrightfreephotos.com/.
Gaining permission for work which is copyrighted usually involves obtaining permission from the owner before it can be used for any other purpose. This permission usually involves a payment fee to the owner before the work can be reused.
If the work is not clearly copyrighted by an owner and is not stated as copyright free it is likely that whoever published it for example the publisher of the book or website is likely the rightful owner of that work.

p5 capture existing images using a digital camera and a scanner and edit them to a given user need.
Above: You can see the top image was the original picture which I drew by hand with a pencil and paper. I then scanned this so that I could gain access to it in photoshop. I then edited the image, firstly by removing all of the pencil lines which were not needed. I then decided that one of the table legs were too long so i edited the size of this too. I then used severla layers to make the cup look like it is filled with water and used two different shades of blue to emphasise this.
Above: The above image was caputred with a digital camera. I first imported the image into photoshop where I changed the contrasts. After this I decided that the image should be in black and white so edited the contrasts again to acheieve this. I then ammended random blemishes which were noticable on the original by using the smudge tool.
p3 define and document a client and user need for 3 related graphic images.
