@Zoah - to be honest, to my mind the word "merging" is more appropriate to use when we talk about taking 2 or more pictures and making a sig out of them, which is what we usually all do.

In the context of my original post, merging is equivalent to morphing, i.e. taking a picture of SRK, plonking his face next to a picture of Santa Claus and thus violating the copyright of both SRK and Santa.

In fact I think we would be better off referring to that practice as MORPHING only so as not to confuse the two issues.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the sugg on texture/brush contests. Definitely a keeper :)

Wow this was needed badly. There's alot of things going around for a while now.

Thanks for the post Vasu!!! I totally agree with u and thanks for giving those examples of morphing.

Thanks Vasu esp regarding the text.. That was my main query and you answered it off well. Thank you🤗

Vasuuu! 🤗

First I was like to say thankyouu to you for posting this. THIS WAS VERY much needed :D

But, I would like to say regarding colored borders. I m not saying that you should give them a warning but they should atleast credit you my saying..colored borders inspired by...

and I see alot of ppl using it so I m not going to say..give them a warning. Almost everyone who comments in my gall..uses tht colored borders and I hardly see ppl crediting me. I never used to see ppl using colored borders before? but why now? and why the ppl who has comment in my gall once, twice or regularly? :(

I would not put alot emphasis on it becus its not a big deal and I totally agree with you that..everyone has photoshop..they can experiment but USING colored borders the same way I do? ARE YOU SERIOUS? :(

ppl also use colored backgrounds too like I do...and I use colored backgrounds 24/7 and thats like my style..so If I see ppl using it..then THEY SHOULD get a warning! becus they are not just using colored backgrounds..they are SIMPLY copying/stealing my style :(

And honestly vasu, I m making siggs for more than 3yrs andd this copying issue is just getting too overboard this yr and also was last yr. I bet you are getting alot PMS that you never got before :( and its getting worse day by day. :( people do not listen and raising their warning is the best thing to do :)

Regarding text, I do not really care becus its nothing biggg.

STYLE/blending(sort of matters) is the most important thing in sigg making and when I see people copying that, you get SHOULD def take some SERIOUS action :))

I also have seen people cutting and copying parts from people's work. thats just too much! :( they should have a get a warning right away! :(

I already have like 3 to 4 warnings in my gall..PEOPLE still do not listen :(

thanks for listening to my BS :( I m FED up of people using colored borders EVERYWHR and not even crediting me. and I do not mind ppl using colored borders once or twice..but if they use it like 24/7..thats a major issue and Vasu, I will give them a warning in their gall to let them know to credit me ATLEAST :( becus thats the major thing..when ppl get inspired by you..they DO NOT credit you :(

and you should also mention..OVERLY inspired.. :( I see alot these days..

people should understand BETWEEN Inspiration & Copying! :(

thanks for reading my BS :( I m just really upset these days becus of this. :(

Thanks Vasu once again! *hugs* Hope you understand! :)

Vas, merging is allowed right, like if you take KSG pic from DMG and merge it with Sonam kapoor solo pics? that is totally allowed but not taking Ranbir and Sonam pic and fitting KSG's picture on Ranbir, that's morphing?
