Hopefully these FAQ's will answer
most of your queries. However, if you have any other questions
please
e-mail me and I will endeavour to answer them - and add them
to this page!!
How are your prices
calculated?
Most of the images on offer on this website have been carefully
restored so that you have a wonderful image looking as good as
the day it was taken. Many hours are spent on each image
removing scratches, dirt, mould and grime in order to provide a
quality image for you to enjoy. Naturally, the work and care
that has gone into each download is reflected in the price
along, of course, with the original rarity value of the
photograph. You can

How do I download my images?
I am trying to offer a personal service by sending images to you
via a friendly e-mail message. You simply save the attachment to
the desired location on your computer. I am fully up-to-date
with the latest anti-virus software so nothing horrible will
happen. However, as a belts-and-braces approach, it is always
good practice to scan any incoming attachments [not just mine]
with your anti-virus software. In many respects this is safer
than a direct download from a website.
Can I use the images for
anything?
You can use the images for many projects but there are some do's
and don'ts. These are explained in the page devoted to
Photo Image Usage Terms. Essentially, you are not allowed to
re-print, re-sell or re-distribute the images alone. However,
Special Licensing is available for customers who require
large images for other uses.
Do I need to worry about DPI?
Not really. Honest. Take a look at this
interesting article which should dispel many myths.
Essentially, images and photographs are offered from 72dpi to
1200dpi but if you are printing then you should concentrate on
the quality of the printer. Take a look at my
samples page to see how good the images can be at Digital
Photographic Images.
What does the term
"Royalty-Free" mean?
Basically, this means that you pay a flat one-off fee for an
image without a royalty for each time it is used within the same
project. For example, members can use an image three times on
the same website but only need to download once and pay once.
What is the image format?
For most it is JPEG though large files sizes sold through a
Special Licence can be a TIFF or RAW file.
What about writing or
watermarks on the image?
There will be no text on the downloaded image. |
