There the new "Editorial use" only button is.
We have added an "editorial use" only button to the submit page in the upload area. You should assign this note to any photo that you know can only be used for editorial purposes.
The image will now contain this message for any visitor or buyer. To add it to an image, simple select the image you want to add it to and then click on the "Editorial Use" only button and it will be added.
Release Information: Editorial Use Only. Image not to be used in commercial designs and/or advertisements.
Images that are marked as “editorial use only” are ones that have not been released for commercial use and have also been taken without the consent of the individuals in the photo. Editorial means books, newspapers, magazines, calendars, stuff that is not advertising. Editorial usage would typically be an image used to support an article or broadcast item in pretty much any media (TV, web, print etc) - typically news/features whilst advertising use would be any image used to promote a product or service.
If you have more to add in the comments about what editorial vs. commercial is please add it. If you need more help, just ask us.

Do you remember your first sale? We do!!!
Fantastic addition! Appreciate your responsive pro-active support.
ReplyDeleteHello Mr. John Griffin,
ReplyDeleteQuestion:
does editorial use include images that are legitimately taken with the approval of a model. however, the model is not keen on signing a model release?
he/she knows it's being used to stock, but also feel no need to sign a MR, simply because , perharps,
only his/her hands, feet, teeth,etc..
whatnot are visible. no identifiable
tatoos,etc..
is such cases, I as the photographer also feel the need to accept the model's opinion, and not push them to sign a MR.
Hopefully, with this trust and should the Editorial image(s) sell,
the model would feel more confident
and eventually do more work with me, then signing a MR for something with identifiable faces.
Yes, I am new to stock, and wants to thread softly with my models, as they are not easy to find.
Help please, with your response.
Thanks in advance.
easy answer is if you dont have the model release signed by the model then you can't use it for "commercial" purposes. you could still use it for editorial. just mark it off on the submit page in the upload area that it is editorial use only by clicking the little green button. thanks
ReplyDeleteit could technically be used for commercial if there are not identifiable traits on the humans body i.e. tattoo but best to send a note to our reviewers when you are uploading and give us the heads up so we are all protected. you can do that from the submit page. thanks
