Rights-Managed License products are high-quality images with their license fee determined by your specific use. Their license fee is determined first on Usage: Web, Editorial/Publishing, Marketing/Promo, Film/Video/TV, and Advertising - then on finished image size. You can see the various license choices and their prices by clicking on an button under any Gallery image and choosing the Rights-Managed License product type.
Purchasing this type of license is similar to "renting" the photo. To keep things simple, the term for all usages is one year except for Editorial which is three years. If you want the photo for a different use, or if the term expires, you'll need to acquire an additional license.
You may not use the photo in any way other than what is explicitly stated on the specific license for this photo (included as part of the invoice receipt) without paying an additional fee. Please carefully read the Rights-Managed License Agreement or view the printable Rights-Managed License Agreement PDF.
Rights-Managed photos can be delivered in compressed JPEG format as an Email Attachment,or in full resolution TIFF format via Online Download or on CD by Regular 1st Class mail or Express 2nd Day Mail.
In the event you have need for license options not covered in the Price list, please contact us.

Panoramas and Panoramic Fine Art Prints
We've developed tools, techniques and procedures and that, along with substantial experience, allow us to create a single panoramic photo from your panoramic segment photos. The photo we create is as high resolution as possible, anywhere from 30 - 190 MB.
If you send us your overlapping photos, we'll construct a high resolution panoramic photo, put it on a CD, and return it and your originals to you by certified mail. We can also integrate your panorama photo with a java panorama viewer into a web-ready HTML page, complete with instructions on how to set and control photo display parameters. This viewer can optionally display clickable 'hot spots' that will display user defined text or link to other pages. We can print the panorama we create for you up to 13" x 44".
We also have an extensive collection of our own panoramas available as Fine Art Prints and Royalty-Free or Rights Managed Licenses. Visit our Panorama Gallery Index and explore the many examples on this site.
