Explanation:
A shot in the dark, so to speak, for your noun phrase only. Haven't done much checking on it yet. Example sentence is from the link.

Example sentence(s):
  • If you are unable to secure a rights-free image, or obtain a work via existing agreements like the ones outlined above, you should consider licensing the work you will need.

agree  Charles Ek: Good for you! But cropping is something different; it means to remove part(s) of an image, not to separate a part from the background. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cropping_(image)

  -> Thank you, Charles. Well, if you remove the outer parts of an image, that outer part can be the background, I think.
