Policy regarding use of my images


I am quite happy for people to use the thumbnail images from my galleries of coloured emblems on their own websites, as long as they provide the following :

A recognition of my copyright of the coloured emblem - say for example "Copyright Adam McLean 1997-2011"

A note recognising their source - say for example "This image is taken from the alchemy web site www.alchemywebsite.com"


If you require a high-resolution image for some printing project - say a book cover, or illustration for inclusion in a book, then please email me adam@alchemywebsite.com with the details and I will prepare an image for you. A charge will have to be made for this.
