Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Images Licensing

Yes. Images can be licensed for editorial purposes such as magazines, newspapers, blogs, and online publications.

Yes. Commercial licensing is available for marketing campaigns, advertisements, product packaging, and corporate use.

Personal use licensing allows private enjoyment, such as wall art for a home. Commercial licensing covers business, promotional, or resale purposes.

Simply contact me with details of the project. I'll provide tailored licensing options based on distribution, duration, and usage rights.

Yes. Businesses often license images for branding, presentations, and reports to enhance visual impact and professionalism.

In some cases, exclusive licenses can be arranged, ensuring the image is not used by others during the agreed period.

I supply high-resolution JPEG files with minimal compression, suitable for very large prints such as wall murals. TIFF files can be provided on special request.

Large wall murals and billboards are printed at a lower dpi because they are viewed from a greater distance. The bigger the print, the lower the dpi required.

No. Printer dpi refers to how many ink dots a machine can place per inch (like 1200 dpi), while print dpi refers to the resolution of your image file. A mural may print beautifully at 150 dpi or even less.

Murals are designed to be viewed from a few meters away. Up close they may appear softer, but at the correct distance they will look sharp and detailed.

Yes, here's a quick reference:

For murals, professional enlargement may be required. Use dedicated software like Topaz Gigapixel or ON1 Resize for best results.

Yes, sharpening should be done after resizing. Tools such as Nik Sharpener, Topaz Gigapixel, or ON1 Resize give the best results.

Yes. Enlarged files often look soft when viewed at 100% on a screen. What matters is how they look when printed and viewed at the intended distance.

Most files are supplied in AdobeRGB for maximum color range. Always check that your lab or printer supports the color space; using the wrong one can result in unexpected color shifts.

JPEG files are 8-bit, which is standard for printing. If you plan to do extensive editing before printing, I can provide a 16-bit TIFF on request to avoid issues like banding in smooth gradients (for example, skies).

Use soft-proofing with ICC profiles provided by your chosen printing company. This simulates the final print appearance and helps avoid surprises.

Yes. I'm happy to work directly with your printer to ensure the best quality output for your mural.

Let me know, and I can supply the file in the format and resolution they need.

Minor adjustments such as cropping or brightness corrections are fine. Significant edits should be discussed first.

The license covers the agreed use (e.g., one mural). If you'd like to use the image again for another project, please contact me for additional licensing.
