    Thanks again everyone for your comments.

    Question: Can you foresee any scenario where someone may want to purchase original files, with a license that grants them the ability to do whatever they want with them? This would exclude any retouching or editing by the photographer, and a full unlimited use license per photo.

    My thought here is that if a client is a designer, and wants a photo to edit as they see fit, this would apply. Otherwise, everything would be limited use, with any edits, modifications, etc. not allowed by the client.

    I think in this case you would seriously increase the price of an original photo of that of an unlimited use license photo, correct?

    • You should charge much more but the reality is that many clients expect or demand these rights without wanting to pay more. Same ol' shit, different industry!nb
