Purchased Stock Photos And Headers/Banners

Lets say you bought the license to use a few pictures off a stock photo site.

Are you allowed to alter those photos in the sense of cutting out the characters or objects (using photoshop) and placing them on your banner if you've purchased a license (that way the people or objects look like they are part of your header, instead of being a square picture placed on top).?

    Why don't you read the TOS/Rights section of the site where you bought them?
    (and sometimes specific rights/limitations are added per image)

    Usually, they are very clear about how you can re-use the images. I know, I know... it's, usually, a long boring legal text - but you need to do your homework BEFORE you buy the images.

    What Istvan Horvath said, but normally you are allowed on most of the popular photo sites, to take those images and alter them any way you want.....

    Guess it makes more sense to read the terms by each photo, just going to be boring haha. The good thing is I would probably only use 1 or 2 images off istock, when designing the header, probably cutting the people out so they are flush with the background.

    Thanks Guys
