Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Panels from "Prisoners of the Sun", the fourteenth volume of The Adventures of Tintin.
Author or copyright owner	Hergé
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Direct source
Date of publication	1949
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Masking (comics)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The selected panels are a clear demonstration of masking (in particular the placement of iconic characters in realistically detailed backgrounds), a visual style used primarily in comics.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	An explanation of masking is more effective with visual aid.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The use of these panels will be limited to the article it is serving as a visual aid for. The quality of the panels have been drastically reduced to avoid inappropriate commercial use.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
