I've a photoshop tutorial blog and I'm facing the problem of indexing my blog posts due to copyrighted material(images) on my blog..

 

I've 50 posts and from that in 25 tutorials I've used images from google.. before this I've get 20-30 visits from google.. but I'll get 0 visits.

 

Is there any way to indexing? OR I have to remove that 25 posts????

I'll search on google and get the addresses of the websites which provides free images used on blogs.. But what about my 25 posts? what should I do?

@Vallabh

Copyright image owner usually use Reverse image search to find copied images.. But such cases happens very rearely..and even if it happens...that owner reported your blog post for copyright issues, you will get a notification for the same...

You can also search in Google with site:domain.com to check if Google have removed any such posts from your blog coz of DMCA compaints..

Whenever you take a photograph from Google Search, go to Advance Search > Filter and take only the ones which are free to share. Also, make sure you give a reference to the original owners somewhere in the post. This will help a lot getting your reputation with Google up.

I suggest that you change the photographs. Someone might have complained about copyright violation

I guess your site is penalized by Google....Or you need to make some quality backlinks
two things you can do 
1. follow google Webmaster Guidelines( remove copyright materials.)
2. apply for Google reconsideration request.

If above does not help migrate to wordpress or any other blogging platform with custom domain...
