Can I use images that I have edited by using paint.net for business purpose without giving credit?

[Shaheens]

Hi,

 

Can I use those images for free for business purpose or post them on socail media which I have edited by using free version of paint.net and without giving credit to paint.net?

Why would you need to give credit to Paint.NET if you're the one who created the image? 🤔

 

If I build a house I don't need to give credit to the manufacturers of the tools I used along the way

So it means whatever image I edit by using paint.net, I can use it for business purpose ? also please tell me is their any restriction on using tools, text or whatever includes in paint.net software ?

Do you own the original image (the image BEFORE you modified it in Paint.NET)?

Paint.NET does not ship with any fonts.  It simply uses the fonts already existing on your system.

I took the picture myself with mobile and now I am editing this picture with paint.net. Can I use the edited images for business purpose?

Nothing you've said so far would prevent you from using your image for business purposes.*

 

 

 

*Assuming you haven't taken a picture of a person without their consent... or, say, a business or other copyrighted work (Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa, etc.)

I took a picture of the helmet and edited it on Paint.net. 

[Shaheens]

can I use it commercially?

I’m not sure why you think your question hasn’t already been answered. 

[Rick Brewster]

Paint.NET doesn’t impose any licensing or royalties or restrictions or anything on the images that it is used to create, modify, etc. This isn’t even a Paint.NET question.

[Rick Brewster]

However we have to be a bit dodgy because we are not lawyers and we can’t say “yes you can use that particular image for whatever purpose” because we don’t know anything about that image or photo or whatever.

 

If you already had the rights to an image before you loaded it up in Paint.NET then you should be fine, but we cannot answer your legal questions beyond that. We are not the gatekeepers of your legal rights and responsibilities.

If you have further questions, consult a lawyer.  Seriously.

You may not use logos, copyright / trademark imagery. If the helmet clearly lets say, a Harley Davidson logo and use it for business (making a profit) then you could get sued. Most likely you would just receive a take down notice. If no logos, trademarks, copyrighted material appears in the photo then by all means go to town. You took the photo, modified it, so that makes it yours.

 

Now... If you ask me if someone else can use your photo (laughing) see the previous paragraph. In regards to Paint.Net I can only eho what has already been said.
