tutorial templates and copyright

[katja tortugatja]

In Photoshop tutorial one can download templates as a .psd file. Is it allowed to reuse them and adjust them for my own purpose or for a customer?

Where are the templates available from?

Normally yes you can use them for whatever purpose, but it's possible that if they include placement images those might not be able to be used.

Thank you for the reply.

It is a template from the dreamweaver tutorial site. There is no readme text but in the psd-template itself in the footer there is a copyright sign from adobe:

Gotcha. Could you link to the template download?

The download-link is under the first photograph: "VORBEREITUNG" with the button "Dateien herunterladen"

I do not see anywhere that you can or cannot use his file for commercial or personal use. His markup is very basic and pretty much industry standard. I would think you would be safe to use as long as you use your own image assets.

Most resource site state clearly whether or not you can you refuse for commercial use. Most of the time your download will include a "READ ME" file of some sorts.
