Hello

Does anyone know how this works? The two photos I want to purchase are 6 and 12 credits, but I am assuming you have to pay for a licence.

Is it a licence per photo? No doesn't look like it.

Just trying to work out why my designer is quoting me £100 - £200 per photo.

Thanks

yeah saw that, but was just wondering how my designer said the photo would cost between £100 - £200.

As its 6 credits - which is £6ish so I will prob need a licence too, but the price on that is not clear. In fact the instructions are not noob proof for me!

Is the image being used across multiple jobs? It depends entirely on the license. Some allow you to use it on one job whilst others say you can have it print but not on the web. All sorts of different things. £100-200 sounds a lot though.

Adding a profit margin?

Thats what I thought (and expected) so I called him and he said that they were cheaper than he thought and they were just ball park figures.

Thanks for your comments everyone!
