Adding Courtesy using Captions:

You’ve probably noticed, that some images have like a little faded gray frame around them with some neat little text underneath the image. This is where your text, when written in the Caption Box, will show up. In order to add any text as Caption, you’ll need to edit your image by clicking on “Edit”. See image below


You’re now on the “Edit Media” page and when you scroll down, you’ll see a little text box called “Caption” right underneath your image. This is where you add your Courtesy Text as a Caption.

Feel free to use the text below and simply replace “IQoncept” and “DollarPhotoClub.com” with your image’s author name and website name/link. See image below


Once you’ve added your text, don’t forget to click on “Update” in order to save the changes to your image. You’ll find it in the upper right corner when you scroll up. If you don’t update your image, then the Caption Text won’t work. See image below


Your modified image is now in the Media Library and every time you’re adding it to your content, it will have its Courtesy underneath in the Caption Box. If you’ve done everything right, next time you add this image to a post/page, it should look like this. See image below


That’s it on how to add Image Courtesy as Captions. Next Lesson is how to add Courtesy inside an image. Stay tuned. :)

You're welcome. Author Courtesy has been something I came across many times as I started out with my websites and it was hard for me to find any images for free which I could just use.

Needless to say, free images require a Courtesy and I'm glad this Tutorial is of benefit to you.

Some great advice thanks Nicole. How do can you tell if you're allowed to use photos freely from other site? For example if you screen capture a picture from a site that has no clear page outlining copyrights for images?
Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend to screen capture any images you see online as most likely they have been bought by the webmaster and you usually won't know the real author. If you then in good believe would screen capture the image and add the Courtesy to that website, you may run into Copyright Issues.

If you can't see the author name and a link/reference to the license, then don't take a screen capture. If the image is shared freely for anyone, then it will say so in the image description.

You're save when you only use the free downloads from featured websites such as the ones Kyle provides here...

...or from the ones I recommend on Page 6.

They show author and the licensing and usually provide you with an example of how to credit the author. Add it to your image and you're on the safe side.

Hope this helps and thanks for your feedback.
