: How do I know the client own the rights to the photos they want me to use? I have been given the responsibility of doing a very simple Photoshop edit for a long distance friend's website:

If you want to cover your bases the only option would be to include it in a contract that the client is responsible for the content and all associated images that may prove an issue and is the one liable by waiving you of all legal issues.


I want to provide this service to more people (putting image inside
text) but should I just stick to my own images/stock/free for reuse
images?


Check the terms before doing this because it has been known, depending on where you get your images, there maybe a usage policy you have agreed to.

The answer provided by user3918548 is a viable option but if you are not building time in for "research content purposes" it is not a viable option to search or crawl the web trying to figure out where someone got an image.

When I am not sure if somebody "owns" a photo I use Google image search on the photo. Usually I can find the photographer or original publisher that way or see that the photo is all over the internet.
