Different Ways of Owning Stock Images

After gaining popularity Stock Photography gets its different categories. It has been divided into different classes according to their use & purpose. Different rules are made for each of the category. 

  Stock Photos: Images bought for specific use from a professional photographer or an agency are simply called the stock photos. The price for image is decided by its use. It is calculated by, where and for how long image will be used. That means placing the photos in a crowded city or region will increase its price, where more people would be able to see it.   Right-Managed Stock Photos: Right-managed stock photos are carefully selected and are licensed for each time they are used. Photos you buy for a specific use at a specific price. Price of the Image depends on how you want to use the picture. This includes the place or location for the image, whether it is on the web, as a print or you want to use it in public hoardings. The concept of right managed can be easily understood with  the help of taking an example of borrowing someones car for your use on rent basis or you can take example of renting your house for a particular person making sure that he only lives there. Rights-Managed stock photography provides us more security regarding the exclusive use of images.   Royalty-Free Stock Photos:  Royalty-Free Stock Photos provides its owner or buyer the rights to use an image in an unlimited number of ways with a single time license fee. Thus a buyer can use the image in several projects without having to purchase an additional license. Pricing for the image is not decided by location or place as in case of the rights-managed, its price is decided with the help of image size & its resolution. That means bigger the size of the image higher would be the price for it. Higher the quality & resolution also adds to its price. It makes it very economical if we wanted to use these photos for the web, which will makes it lower in size, hence cheaper. However there is only one time license agreement which means someone else can also use that same Stock Image at other later.   The drawback of using royalty-free photos is that it can be purchased more than one time by people everywhere. The photo you choose for your website may be already been used by another person on his site. Whereas right managed stock photos assures the exclusive use for the licensed image.For more information about Stock Photography, Stock Image, stock photos, Stock Photos online, stock photos for sale & royalty free stock photography if you want to know more about the author feel free to contact him at http://www.imageselect.eu/
