No, for a photograph the source is the actual physical object you've made a picture of, so a photograph can never be free. Either this, or a photograph should be considered as source. In your case, your best bet would probably be to provide the photograph without the text, or (even better) provide the image in a more advanced format (e.g. XCF) with the photograph and text in different layers. -- Måns Rullgård [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
