Crediting problem

[kali]

i have a friend who really enjoys pixelling (go figger), but...

who gets the credit if she re-pixels an image from a photo or something?

i have a photo of a framed cross-stitch work that my great aunt made back in '54 (probably using a diagram/pattern she'd found somewhere). i've been wanting to use some of the cross stitch designs in tags, but my eyes just won't "do" the detail work necessary to copy them.

so... if i send my friend the photo and she copies and pixels the images, who should be credited? her as the pixeller? me as photographer? my great aunt as the stitcher? or a combination?

sheesh, what a "mell of a hess" here!

Welllllllll, since you own the photograph that the pixels are going to be made from then the pixels, I'm pretty sure, would be © to you.
Now when she pixels them, then they would be "pixeled by her".

So, I would have her put

Pixeled by "her name"

Wait to see what Huronna says. LOL

framed cross-stitch work that my great aunt made ...that is the original image that she will be using even though you may have taken the photo.

Basically anyone could have taken the photo, but it's the image in the photo that is going to be used.

Pixeled by is good. Cross stitch by Aunt Bessy

Of course depending on how picky one wants to be.......who was the originator of the original pattern that Aunt Bessy did or did Aunt Bessy make the design herself?

Let's see how else....
Aunt Bessy's cross stitch pixeled by so and so

thanks huronna.

my great aunt enjoyed doing cross stitch, but after all these years, it's impossible to know whether she used a pre-made pattern or made up her own. (and there's no way to ask her now) so i think "cross stitch by dhb, pixelled by m" will work just fine.

and i got to thinking last night, pixelling is kind of like doing counted cross stitch, only on the computer...lol.
