i had created one theme which is one page full screen parallax design. but it use some people images which i had extracted without background. i know we can provide the user with dummy or watermarked images but my theme need images which should be extracted from background. so that add an extra effort for the user to get a final result. so how can i deal with this ?

some of the images are copyrighted and i have no right to sell.

You’ve already answered you question:

images are copyrighted and i have no right to sell.

So, either get the rights from the owner, or replace the images.

Crossroad & Ruben, Thanks for your reply.

i got those images from google so am not sure about the owner.

but i would like to provide the buyers with dummy images. just like ruben’s wowway theme used black pattern images. but my problem is my theme need extracted images to get that final result.

& can i use copyrighted images for preview purpose ?

You passed the quiz to become an author and you still ask this questions? You need to have licence for all images you use, if are not yours.
