Image Licensing

Advertising and Commercial image licenses...
For images that are to be used for advertising, promotional or any other type of commercial purpose, there is an image license fee in addition to the commission rates.
Our license fees are competitive and are explained below:

All photographs are the copyright of Eden Digital. We do not sell the copyright to any work produced. Even when an 'exclusive image license' is purchased, we still retain full copyright of any and all images supplied in accordance with the 1988 Copyright Act.
We reserve the right to selectively use any and all images produced during our commissioned work for our own purposes, both commercially through the supplying of suitable images to our stock photography libraries, and editorially for our own self-promotion and publicity.
We are quite happy to supply commissioned work with an 'exclusive license agreement' preventing such further usage of any images created but the license fee will obviously reflect this request.


There are two types of license available:

Standard - this is a "royalty-free" license, intended to cover most normal business use, for example web sites, magazines, book content, catalogs, advertising material. There is a one-time-only fee, no print run or usage limits. Image rights are always non-exclusive and pictures may be used for any purpose except "artistic use".

Artistic - a traditional "rights-managed" license for use where the image itself is a significant component of the end-product, for example postcards, greetings cards, framed pictures, calendars or book covers. Fee is dependent on purpose, may be volume or time related and will usually be substantially greater than "Standard". In some cases exclusive or reserved image rights may be possible. As there is not a fixed price fee, contact us to discuss details.


Fees for Standard Royalty-free images:
There are two prices, based on the size of the image requested.

Low resolution - normally about 500 pixels and are 72dpi with a certain amount of jpeg compression. These are suitable for on screen display such as web pages and also small size prints, about 5 or 6cm across.
   
High resolution - usually between 1000 and 3000 pixels, supplied at 72, 250 or 300dpi and with minimum jpeg compression. These provide better quality for printing at larger sizes, maximum printed size varies quite a lot, but typically up to about 15x20cm, sometimes larger.
