Hi all,

I would like to know what your view about deciding a photo as RF or RM license..

for my understanding,

RF license is one time payment and buyer can use it in many area but the limitation is the image can't be exclusive and can't be tracked of history.

RM license is paid higher price and the price is decided by how long the time, or how it is to be used. The advantage for buyers of RM is the history of usage can be tracked and buyer can have exclusive use of image if they want.


my question is how you decide to make one image RF or RM?

if a texture like brickwall or grass field, guess there is no argument it will go to RF.

editorial go to RM.

how about landscape? street shot? usually what kind of image a buyers are looking for in RM?

I don't know if this is a good strategy or not, but this is what I do:
- recognizable places, even landscapes, I set as RM
- special plants and animals, I set as RM
- generic images, I set as RF

how about this image? what do you think? RF or RM? thanks.
