							| copyrighted images 
 |  
							| Hi there, I �ve been having problems with copyrighted images I use in my worksheets because I have no idea how to spot them. I have a powerpoint with similar cartoons I used in a worksheet that got removed. But I �ll probably won �t be able to share it because of the same problem. I �d be grateful for any suggestion on how to avoid these.  Thanks!    |  11 Mar 2018

							|  Generally if you see a watermark or some kind of small text identifying the owner (usually with a copyright symbol ) the picture will be tagged as copyrighted.   Watermarks are sometimes pretty light and you have to look close to spot them.

							| Hello helenaainacio,   If you see the copyright symbol anywhere in the picture, then it is copyright protected. Here are some examples of the symbol and also a clipart example with the copyright symbol. Watermarked clipart can contain letters, swirls, cross hatching, and so on. Some examples: Best wishes and good luck! kwsp |  13 Mar 2018
