If you submit an image with an RM license, does that mean only one person can buy it? And if this is the case, how much should I sell it for? Let's use the picture that is associated with the link below as an example. How much would you sell the spice drops image for(3456 x 2304 px)?

Thanks.

No, RM means a person can only use it for the specified agreed use. For instance, you sell it for a 1/4th page inside a magazine that prints 50,000 copies.  It can only be used for that and only once, it can not be used in another magazine, or in a website, book, poster, whatever, it can not be used in a full page or in the cover, and it can not be even used in the same magazine again.  Hmm, did I forget something?  Oh, yes, a period of time for the license may also be set, as well as geographical restrictions.

The price depends on the usage.  For a book cover it costs more than for a 1/4th inside page. For a magazine issue with 100,000 copies it costs more than for one with 20,000 copies.  A worldwide license costs more than a single country license. 

In RF people can use the same image over and over again (depending on the case, in microstock an EL would be required), so in fact a RF image should cost more than a RM.

Regards,
Adelaide
