1. I want to use a photograph taken by someone else in my project. If I use a graphics program to change the photograph I do not need to seek permission from the original creator.

Explanation

Changing a photograph using a graphics program does not exempt one from seeking permission from the original creator. The act of altering the photograph still constitutes a derivative work, and the original creator's copyright still applies. Permission should always be sought before using someone else's photograph, regardless of any modifications made to it.
