RE: We Need A Consensus On How To Credit Photos & Quotes Easily
Citing photos, especially if they're not mine is really a task - even if they are Creative Commons (CC), like Pixabay, I try to link to the originator so they can get more traffic or tips.
I would love a drag and drop option with a pop-up prompting for a citation or link, but perhaps something that like would really require a whole platform change...and that may not go over too well with the users. But I'm not a dev either. Thankfully I know enough HTML and markdown to format my posts the way I like them....and I try very hard to keep the policy of DO THE RIGHT THING.
yes if the info could be embedded in the photo itself that'd be awesome or a way to when you download a photo to have the info stored within it (or at the bottom of the photo/linked) so you could have the option to see the source with a hover and still be able to have a click do a different feature like take you to another section or page.
I always want to give credit. But then if I photoshop a picture using ten different original photos do i have to cite each one or is it now my photo? I'm not quite sure to be honest, but it would be nice to know if any lawyers could give us a best practice for those of us that do photoshop or combine photos etc.
