andremichel Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I always thought that an image can be either RM or RF and if we labelled it as one at a library, we had to stick to the same RM/RF classification if we then sent it to any other library. But I just I came across a library that offers images with the option for the buyer to select whether to buy as RF or RM. I was surprised to see this. What does everyone think of that?

Cryptoprocta Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 How is that different from Alamy? If a file has been designated RF, buyers can opt to buy it RM. If a file has been designated RM, perhaps they will be sold with a 'virtually limitless' RM licence, presumably if buyers have requested it.

I think this is a rule created by well meaning people on photography forums, but not necessarily an agency rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't always like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
