Downloading Images

• Download resolution options are determined by
  your subscription code.
• For example, if you have permissions to download
  high resolution images, you will see options to
  download the image at the highest resolution
  available (between 18MB and 32MB) as well as all
  resolutions available below such resolution. If
  you have permissions to download standard
  resolution images only, you will see the standard
  and medium resolution download options and
  nothing more. Both standard and medium
  resolutions are offered with a standard
  resolution subscription, medium high and high
  resolutions are added in a high resolution
  subscription. Clicking on a download option
  button will send the image to your Download
  Folder where you can collect up to 90 images
  before you download them.

8
Download Folder

• The Download Folder can contain a maximum of 90
  items. This limit is set in order to conserve
  bandwidth. A message will be displayed when you
  reach this limit.
• Once you have collected the images you would like
  to download, create a project name for the set of
  images you are downloading (to more easily
  reference it later in your download history),
  indicate you understand the terms of use for
  these images, and then select the Click to
  Download button at the bottom of the page.

Educational Purposes Only

• Illegal use of Corbis images (i.e. usage outside
  that defined in the end-user agreement) is a
  serious offense. Corbis will keep track of the
  images you download. Please do not risk a
  personal lawsuit by using images in an
  unauthorized way.
• Master administrator (i.e. Carrie Lixey) can
  monitor the code(s) associated with their
  institutions subscription. If necessary, they
  can disable an account by removing it from a
  subscription code list. A subscription code
  itself can be made inactive as well, which will
  disable any account associated with that code.

  or misuse of the Education content.

Classroom Assignment YESClient Project NO

• Can students use a Corbis image for a class
  project that is being presented to a client?
• Students may use it for a presentation HOWEVER
  if the client decides to go with that particular
  piece you MUST purchase the rights to use the
  Corbis image or remove the image from the piece.
  If they have any thoughts about not purchasing
  the image they shouldnt use it to begin with.
• Can students buy the rights to a Corbis image so
  that they may use it in a client piece?
• YES. Contact Corbis directly for pricing and
  information on specific images

14
Classroom Assignment YESClient Project NO

• Can students use Corbis images in their
  portfolio?
• YES. Again so long as the piece they are
  using it in is not being created for a client.
• Can students manipulate the image for their
  project?
• YES. Again so long as they are using the
  image for coursework in a classroom setting they
  may manipulate/change the image to suit their
  needs.

15
Classroom Assignment YESClient Project NO

• Once a student gets an image can they use it
  forever?
• NO. When you download an image from Corbis
  it may be used for the coursework you are doing
  at the time. Once the course is over the image
  may not be re-used in another project that is
  outside of coursework. The only exception to
  this would be if you were to include the original
  completed project in your portfolio
• Can I download all the Corbis images that we have
  access to?
• NO. Dont do it!! This is a violation of our
  license agreement and of the end-user license
  rules that you agree to when you use the database.

16
Classroom Assignment YESClient Project NO

• Can students use Corbis images in work entered in
  outside competitions?
• Yes. As long as it is not used to market the
  school or is not used outside of the school to
  market the competition or is not sold to (or
  given) to the client. A quick phone call to
  Corbis can confirm acceptable usage.
• A good rule of thumb is to encourage students
  to create original work so they can have 100
  creative freedom.
