Cover Image: Royalty-Free v. Rights Managed - When you begin to work with a designer on your book, you will eventually have to make a decision on an image for your cover. Aside from making the important decision about the content of the image, which the dedigner will use along with type to put together an eye-catching cover design, you will also need to make a decision about the rights of the image.
Licensing Photography and Copyright Laws - Odds are, unless you are hiring a photographer or have images of your own, you will want to use some type of photography or illustration in your marketing materials. Here is a brief explanation of the different types of licensing options for remaining within intellectual property laws.
Book Recommendations on Stock Photography Agencies and Stock Sales - Selling your images to a stock agency can be a complicated business as they have their own rules, contracts, and ways of working. Your rights to your images might change from agency to agency, with some requiring exclusive rights to your images and other having less restrictions. With all there is to learn, we've included a few books we recommend to help you learn more about how the stock photography business works and how to sell your images to stock.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Stock Photography - What you’re paying for, how much you’ll have to pay, and why we participate in this crazy system.
Finding The Right Stock Photo For Your Marketing Projects - Good news: The client just awarded your design group their new corporate brochure. Bad news: The materials need to be to the printer in two weeks. Good news: No photo shoot—you’re going with stock images. Bad news: None of the FPO photos can be used.
Finding Images Online - This is part of a series of documents about finding images online. This first document discusses general tools and strategies for finding images. The other documents in the series provide advice and pointers on finding specific types of images:
Finding Art Images - This is one of several short documents providing assistance in finding images on the Web. For a general introduction to image searching we recommend you first read TASI's Finding Images Online.
Finding Maps - This is one of several short documents providing assistance in finding images on the Web. For a general introduction to image searching we recommend you first read TASI's Finding Images Online.
Finding Current Events Images - Finding Current Events Images Introduction This is one of several short documents providing assistance in finding images on the Web. For a general introduction to image searching we recommend you first read TASI's Finding Images Online.

Five Tips For Getting The Most From Stock Photo Agencies - Let’s face it, if all stock photography agencies were the same, there wouldn’t be so many of them. Entering “stock photo agency” on Google brings up 675,000 results. So how do you know which agencies to use? And how do you make sure you’re getting the most you can out of the relationship
Image Licensing Information - Rights-managed and Royalty Free Images - "Royalty Free Images" are purchased outright, either as single images or on CD-ROMs in bulk, and can be used for any purpose within your business. The images cannot be sold on, but few other restrictions apply.
Licensing Photography and Copyright Laws - Odds are, unless you are hiring a photographer or have images of your own, you will want to use some type of photography or illustration in your marketing materials. Here is a brief explanation of the different types of licensing options for remaining within intellectual property laws.
Purchasing Photos: Royalty-Free vs. Rights-Managed - When working with a designer on your website or printed materials you may be faced with the decision of purchasing a photo or illustration. But, when the invoice arrives for your “royalty-free” or “rights-managed” artwork, what are you really buying? You should know the difference between the two before you buy.
Rights Managed / Royalty Free - The differences between Rights Managed and Royalty Free Images
Rights Managed vs. Royalty Free and Other Pictoral Questions - We made the point a couple of months back that not all digital photographs are equal, and that some may even detract from the professional appearance of the site
Royalty-Free images vs Rights Managed stock photography Which is for you? - “An art director or graphic designer who doesn’t understand the real differences between traditional ‘rights managed’ stock photography and ‘royalty-free’ images is at a severe professional disadvantage on both sides of that equation.”
Royalty Stock Photos vs Rights Managed - If you have searched for stock photos to use on your website, you have likely encountered the terms royalty-free and rights managed. You have probably noticed one difference between the two - Price. But what is the actual difference between these types of photos?
Rights-Managed vs. Royalty-Free Images - Workbook Stock wants you to have as many choices as possible when looking for the right image. That's why we offer both rights-managed (RM) and royalty-free (RF) images. If you have any questions about the differences between them and which might be best for you or your project, please continue reading.
Rights Managed Stock vs Royalty Free Stock - Is RF the bargain they claim? In photography as in anything else, you get what you pay for. Royalty-free (RF) stock may look like a bargain. But it has some serious drawbacks, too, and these can affect the value of what you buy.
Royalty-Free Images on the Web - Is "Royalty free" Free? - Though these sites will provide "royalty-free" images, the images themselves are usually not free. Royalty-free simply means that you may use the image without paying for that use. Because the types of usage may be limited, read the fine print at each site.
Stock Art - Stock photos and clip art have been around for a long time, even before computers. Stock photos are professional photographs of all different subjects that are sold individually or as a set, usually on a CD or on the Internet. Clip art is line art such as drawings and illustrations rather than photographs. Clip art images are available either in digital form on CDs or on the Internet or as black and white images in a book that are cut out, or "clipped", and pasted into the layout.
Stock Media Licensing Explained - Stock media companies provide ready-made media content that can be legally added to your work in a matter of minutes
Stock Photography - Information about the stock photography industry and links to stock photos sites.
Stock Photography 101 - In general, there are two types of stock photography available
Stock Photography for Web Developers - As a Web developer, chances are that you'll need images for your Web presence. While some of you might possess skills in photography or illustration, many do not. In addition, time constraints might make it impossible to shoot or create what you want in time to meet a deadline. Then there's the other issue - cost. If all of these factors are an issue, check out stock photography. In this and subsequent articles, we'll have a look at the stock photography industry, how it works, what images cost, copyright issues and how you can make use of images as a Web developer.
Stock Photography FAQ - The Basics - Okay, listen: There is absolutely no way we can overstate the importance of these model release issues -- if the photos have recognizable people in them-- no matter whom you are buying pictures from, us or anyone else.
Stock Photography Resources for Web Designers - If you're stuck with a job, and all the client has supplied is a shitty bitmapped logo, a single page Word document, and a floppy disk with three, small, over-compressed images, don't sit there and complain (and yes, I've definitely done that in the past).
Taking Stock - Back in the 80s and 90s, "stock" was the name of the game. The economy was good, the market was hungry, and agencies hustled to get their photographers the biggest clients at the best rates. But then came agency consolidation. New contracts were issued, and many photographers felt their "agents" had become vendors, chipping away at prices, demanding higher sales percentages, and leaving their photographers to fend for themselves.
Taking stock of your photos - Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Ever been looking at a company's Web site (or printed brochure or product box) and wondered "How can that company afford these pricey models and professional photography?" Hey—we've been fooled too. Most likely, particularly with smaller companies, what you're actually looking at is stock photography.
The Art of Business: Stocking Up on Stock Imagery - Once the purview of high-priced ad agencies, stock imagery is becoming popular with all rank of creative professionals, thanks to growing online collections, price competition, improved search techniques, and dare we say it, instant gratification.
Top ten reasons we hate using stock - #134 - Ever get those briefs where it reads "must use stock"? Course you have, and you probably hate it as much as most. Not only do you have to use stock, you have to use X-brand stock that the agency has a "good deal" with - and not simply some really nice stock places that you know about...... Well, that's when stuff like this happens.
Photography: To Stock or Not to Stock? Is This Really a Question? - So, how big of a compromise is using stock photography? Is it worth the money you save? Do you actually save any money? Can it be damaging to your image? Take a walk around the block with me on this one.
Using Stock Photography (PDF)- A guide on stock photography and difference licensing options.
What are Royalty-Free & Rights-Managed Products Images? - Compares the 2 types of images that you can purchase - Royalty-Free and Rights-Protected images.
Why Stock Photography is a Great Resource for Web Business - And it still is today. With the media changing everyday photography has changed along with it and as a result is still a valuable resource for web business.
