I am trying to think of some images that imply or indicate abuse that I can incorporate into a concept I am doing. I have several ideas myself of what to use, but I would really like other people’s ideas too please.
I like Kathryn’s image 
Some other stuff that you can incorporate in your images [whether it is human or animal abuse] :
– bruises , sores , burns
– whip lash marks, cuts & open wounds
– scars , scabs
– tears in eyes , wide fearful eyes , wide vacant eyes (submission)
– fettering wounds
– unhealthy & unhygienic living conditions of a newborn baby
– discrimination & prejudice – racism, homosexuality, gender-bias
– instruments/tools of torture
– drug abuse ?
– police throwing tear gas & lathi-charging peaceful demonstrators – abuse/misuse of power.
– a little girl/boy hiding her/his whole body under the blankets, clutching the edge of the blanket/sheet with just large fearful eyes peering out in the semi-darkness.
– depict child labour
– pollution, etc. – abusing Mother Earth/Nature
– derelicts, homeless, refugees & their condition – a remark on society.
– pedophiles , stalkers , paparazzi
– Guantanamo Bay type of incidents
Some of the above are a bit abstract & tangential, yet indicate abuse of some kind.
Hope these help too
I am trying to make a webstore myself and I want to put some images flashing on main page.
Also Each of these images need web links.
How can I do this?
Use any good animation editor to make your animated images (.gif format), Then link them:
Making an Image a Link:
<p><a href="URL path to external link" title="Mouseover Description"><img style="width: XXpx; height: YYpx; border: 0;" src="animation1.gif" alt="Text Description"></a></p>

I’ve uploaded a few images to photobucket. How do i make them appear on google or yahoo image search?
Some say that I’ll have to tag them. How do I do that?
You must use your keyword on alt tag like
<img src="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg" title="Your Keyword" alt="Your Keyword" />
Hi,
I’m making a website for my company, and have a collection of images that change when you mouse over them (very old hat for any programmers out there) However, I’ve gotten stuck at a point after that. How do I have a second image (a grid image) overlaid or underlaid across these other images? If it changes anything, I’m using wordpress.
Thanks!
Might see if one of these Wordpress plugins would work for you…

I am preparing digital images to be viewed by projection by jurors in an art competition.
My images look perfect on a Mac monitor, but too dark and garish on an NEC brand monitor.
Should I err on the bright side or dark side, more saturated or less, etc? Any advice would save my life.
Yeah, it a perfect world, all monitors would be perfectly calibrated and capable of the same level of quality graphic display as another, but that is hardly the case, and never will be. So I don’t see calibrating all monitors as an answer. Another matter, you say they will be projected. That throws yet another HUGE stumbling block into the mix. Even with a calibrated monitor, when going through a projector, the colors, contrast, brightness all goes to trash. The quality of the projector is of major importance, and even then, it also needs to be calibrated, …. again, not likely in the real world.
I have to ask, how do you KNOW how your photos look on the NEC monitor? Do you have access to them on that particular monitor? How do you know they are not correct on the NEC and incorrect on your Mac? Is your Mac calibrated? If you can see how they are going to look to the judges, then the obvious answer is to adjust the images to look right to THEM. Be sure and save your original files of course. Who cares what they look like on your end, what matters at this stage is for them to look good to the judges. Can you use some online software on the NEC to adjust your photos at that point?
It seems obvious to me. If they are "too dark" on the NEC, then raise the brightness on your end. If they are too "garish" on the NEC, then lower the saturation on your end.
As another thought, maybe the NEC just needs some very basic adjustments to bring up the brightness and lower color saturation. I find it hard to believe that a panel of jurors in any kind of selection process would be using such a terrible monitor, meaning that particular monitor. NEC is typically a very good display and in fact makes one of the best monitors sold today for photographic work.
But again, if they are then going to projection, it can all go haywire anyway. I think the projection aspect is much more troublesome than any of the monitors along the way.

What i mean is that is there a website or even program where you can make simple cartoon style images. And it should include something like "clip art" from microsoft where you can choose preset image/shapes and edit and mix them up to make an image. I need this because i am making a game in Flash and i dont like making images in flash.

I don’t mean having like thousands of tiny pictures to make one big image, I mean like if you took a picture of a kitchen sink and you cropped images of the curves of the faucet to make it shaped like a heart or another symbol. I will give a best answer for anyone who can provide me with what this is called or an image of it! THANKS!
I guess it would be considered a collage but the fact that it creates another image or symbol makes it different.
its a photo collages if you search it on yahoo under images you’ll see lots of different ways to do them..i am not sure how to provide a photo for you or i would be glad to. hope that helps..

Hi, everyone. I was just wondering how web designers use random images, for instance, images of space, or images of pumpkins, or buildings; if these images were found on Google but obviously taken from a photographer, how does someone else use their photos on their website legally?
I see a lot of images on websites that I highly doubt the owners got permission from the image makers, so how does one legally use an image?
Thanks!

I frequently browse a website that did not have advertisement banners before. Now they have big, ugly banners for another website that the owner also manages, but he says that they are "normal size" when I complained about it. Is there any way to discretely block a directory of images on a site and not accidentally block every image on that site?
Try downloading AdBlock Plus (its an extension for firefox).
Go to Tools->Add-Ons->Get Add-Ons.
Search Adblock and click on Adblock Plus.
Adblock will automatically block most adds on most websites.
If it does not you can right click on the image you wish to block and click block this image.
I used 3 images, put them together into 1 image on Photoshop, and am planning to use it as a book cover on Inkpop. Is this legal? I don’t want to get sued so I’m asking now!
The image is also on Facebook. Is that also legal? I know plenty of people who use internet images as profile pictures.
How do you know if it’s copyrighted?
Do you own the copyright of the images? Do you have permission from the copyright owners to use the images? If the answer to those questions is yes, then yes, you can do it. If you don’t own the copyright, or have permission from the copyright owner, then no, you can’t use the images.
Just because an image is on the internet does NOT mean that it’s copyright free. Most of them are copyrighted.
Edit: Unless something says that it’s public domain, assume that it’s copyrighted. The act of creating something automatically creates copyright. Look for something that says "clip art" or "common creative license", which means that the person who created the artwork has waived some of his/her rights, but not all of them. Make sure that you read the agreement carefully.
