A scope conversation, not a checkbox
Usage is a scope conversation, not a checkbox. The same photograph can be used in different media, territories, terms, exclusivity arrangements, promotions, alterations, and sublicensing paths. Making those variables explicit helps a photographer and client see what still needs agreement. It does not decide who owns rights or what the terms should cost.
A web-only, one-year, national corporate use request differs from worldwide paid promotion with exclusivity and alteration rights, even if the image files are identical. This planner keeps both sets of variables visible and flags unknown entries for written follow-up. Use the resulting list to prepare an estimate and agreement with appropriate professional or legal review, not as a self-executing licence.
This is a planning calculation, not a certification. Confirm the relevant camera, lens, card, printer, contract, location, or workflow constraint in the real setup before relying on the result.
Compare the chosen crop and output at the intended physical size and viewing distance. A proof is more informative than a generic PPI or quality label because it includes the actual subject, processing, paper, and display context.
FAQ
- Can this create a licence for my client?
- No. It helps you collect usage variables. A written agreement and appropriate professional or legal review are still needed.
- Is this a guarantee?
- No. The result is bounded by the inputs and assumptions shown on the page. It is designed to support a better next decision, not replace a test, measurement, proof, or professional judgement where one is needed.
