Adapting openly licensed content allows you to modify a useful resource to specifically fit your context. Modifying maps or images to draw attention to a particular quality is one example of this.
Find an openly licensed image and use Pixlr (or another image manipulation program of your choice) and share your creation for others to reuse.
To find a openly licensed image: You can find openly licensed images from the OER Guide from the UBC Library website.
Choose an image and download it. If it requires attribution, be sure to keep track of the attribution and license information. If the image is you are using is ND (No Derivatives), review the Creative Commons module to determine if the changes you are making to the image are not considered as adaptations and do not violate the terms of the ND license.
After you have downloaded the image, edit the image using image editing software. You can try using free software tools like Pixlr express to edit the image.
Share the revised image to your Flickr account, social media, blog or website for others to revise and reuse. Be sure to attribute the original properly, as explained in the Creative Commons module.

I’ve been meaning to write this post about my personal values for a while, and the image I found on a free icons site just happened to fit two of the three values. I decided to adapt the image and add it to the draft I had going. I changed the circle to a heart to better encapsulate “compassion” as I felt the upward fist and the sparkles already captured “growth” and “joy” respectively. Not an OER image per se, but it could be used for a class community agreement.

Unsplash has noted that attribution is not required but acknowledging the work of photographers is recommended. Unsplash provides different ways (link, social media) of doing this.

I found an image on Pixabay (see below). Because sometimes images from commercial stock media sites find their way into Pixabay, I did a reverse image search using TinEye to see the earliest it had been posted online. Since Pixabay came up as the earliest instance, I felt comfortable using it.

Pixabay doesn’t assign CC licenses to their content – their license doesn’t require attribution, but you are not allowed to reuse the content for commercial purposes. Since I was looking for an image to advertise a citation management workshop, I felt it met the terms of use.
https://pixabay.com/service/terms/#license
Here is my adapted image – I added text over the original image. I would cite it as the following: Adapted from photograph of books by congerdesign [https://pixabay.com/photos/books-to-study-literature-to-learn-2158737/]. Even though it is not required to cite the creator according to the license, I might do so as a way of modelling attribution for students.
