How To Price For The Licensing And Rights Managed Sections

If you don't want to offer your work for licensing then just leave the boxes blank.

I might want to. I'm just trying to understand how it all works.

Go to your Behind The Scenes page and scroll towards the bottom. Click on "Image Licensing Program" and you'll be taken to a page that explains how it all works. From there you can also opt in or out of the program.

Generally speaking, you should offer either Royalty Free licenses OR Rights Managed licenses, but not both for a given image. (I mostly offer RF, but have a few RM instead).

As for pricing, I find most artists here use the "Getty" default pricing option, so that might be a good place to start when in doubt.

Oh, James, that is very helpful. I found that one of my images had pricing that I don't even remember putting there, but for now, I went with it. But it had both. I'll read up on that link you suggested. I was trying to use the Getty pricing but my computer wasn't letting me click over. I'll try it again after a re-boot. Thanks so much!

I'm not using the the Getty or istock defaults because they are nowhere near accurate to what either of those sites charge...from, both, my experience as a buyer and from my experiments. Instead, I calculate my RF images based on my rights managed images and I calculate my rights managed images based on what I think is fair for each managed category.
