Credit when credit is due?

Okay. I'm all about giving credit and expecting credit for a job. But since WHEN is cropping pictures you found on the internet into icon-sized bites worth even asking for credit? You didn't do anything. It doesn't take a genius to crop a photo, I don't care how much time you've spent on it. So I'm just going to put it out there right now.

I will only credit people for bases if they have done the following:

Took the photos themselves using a regular camera or digital one.
If the user hand-scanned them from physical pieces of paper that no one else would have access to on the internet.
If the bases were hand drawn, PS'd or PSP'd from their own imagination.

Possible credit would be to movie/television bases that they made from screen caps they did themselves. I've done that with Sealab 2021, and let me tell you, it's a pain in the ass to go through just for some bases.

I WILL NOT give credit (actually I won't even download, consider it a boycott) people who make bases from images they get on the internet, unless the graphics are paid for by them.

So there you have it. I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything, but I think it's retarded when people scream that they want to be credited for something as easy as cropping and resizing photos they took off of Yahoo Movies, or Getty Images.

Can you tell that irks me?
