my English is poor, I hope I can express my question clearly. I always download images from here, and use them in my project. Thanks for this website! I always add a text file and the contents is atrributing the authors. But I have a problem, say, sometimes, I am not directly use these images, I would change the image size,  rotate them, change the color or other simple operation before use them, is that OK? I know there are a lot of licenses, but I really do not understand them, if I change the image colors, I break the 'SA' rules or not?  and which licenses forbid my change?

CC-BY 3.0 CC-BY-SA 3.0 GPL 3.0  GPL 2.0 OGA-BY 3.0 CC0 LGPL 3.0 LGPL 2.1

Hi there! You can change any art you get from OGA, but you have to offer the modified version under the same license, if the license is CC-BY-SA or (L)GPL. Changing an image doesn't break the rules. Failing to share your changes with other people would break the rules.
