SPFG, Supreme Picture Framing God
This was posted on the forum I belong to for professional photographers:
A neighbor of mine brought this question to my attention.
She took a photograph of her boys (from the back) sitting on the beach looking at the ocean. Loved it so she had it enlarged to 24 x 30. Wanting it framed she took it to a large hobby store ( A national chain). They needed to crop it to fit into the frame, but they cropped it wrong. They paid to have it remade, cropped it correctly and framed it. She went back later and they had reframed the incorrectly cropped photo and had it on the wall FOR SALE. When she said something to them, they gave the the old photo. The question is, can they legally sell that photo that she took?
