Photo license covered by fees.
The fee covers a license for usage for one project (e.g. one book title, magazine issue, etc.) with no extra charge for reprints or new editions of that project.
Within the project, the fee permits one reproduction in large size, plus use as a decorative thumbnails (at most 50% of the large size) within the same project, i.e. in a table of contents or in advertising which promotes the project (e.g. reproducing a book cover).
The fee allows use of the caption.
The fee includes scanning & graphics prep (remember you save some prepress charges).
The fee allows minor editing of the photo or conversion to black & white.
The level of fee determines whether or not a photo credit must be given.
Each photographer will certify that he or she owns the copyright to the photo & is authorized to grant a license for usage.
Terms & conditions.

Limit use to one project per fee.
Refrain from using photos in ways that misrepresents or degrades any person, organization or industry in the photo.
Respect the artistic integrity of photos & the moral rights of the photographer.
Not sell or transfer the photo to any other Web site or commercial organization or product.

How to specify photos you want to order.
Please copy & paste the Image Ref: line found under each enlarged photo
into the body (not the subject line) of the email you are sending for this order.
An Image ref: reads like http://travelphotobase.com/f/DCWH/DCL110.HTM {D}
Image refs are unique so the caption is not required.
If you send only the caption of a photo, we might send the wrong image because captions may apply to several photos.
Please do not attach the actual jpgs.
Understand that some of the photos are embargoed for third party use. In such an instance, we may suggest alternative photos.

Print size & resolutions choices.
Assuming photos are not cropped
Hi-res photos run about 2,500 pixels in their long direction. Quality printing at 300 dots/inch (dpi) size will yield an image 8 inches / 20 cm in the longer dimension. At standard 150 dpi, a clear image will be twice as large. Hi-res file downloads range from 2 to 6 Megabytes.
Ultra-Hi-res photos run about 5,000 pixels in their long direction. Quality printing at 300 dpi size will yield an image over 16 inches / 40 cm in the longer dimension. At standard 150 dpi, a clear image will be twice as large. Hi-res file downloads range from 10 to 22 Megabytes.
Either of these sizes can be enlarged slightly, though there may be some loss in sharpness.
Photo credit required.
For our lower fee we require a photo credit which reads like "Jim Steinhart of TravelPhotoBase.com". This may be located adjacent to the photo or in an overall list of photo credits somewhere in a book which references each photo.
Payment terms.
Established clients with credit accounts must pay within 30 days of delivery. Any other terms must be arranged in advance. Overdue accounts incur interest charges of 12% per annum.
For new clients, we may ask for a credit card payment in advance.
We supply an invoice/receipt with the uploaded photos. If you need something other than an emailed invoice, please advise us in advance.

Time to delivery.
We usually upload photos to you within one working day, if not faster.
If we are traveling the world on a photo-shoot, it can take longer. We will email you within a day or two re delivery time.
How photos are delivered.
We post the image on our Web site & then email you the link which allows both you & your print shop to pull photos at your convenience. This can save you the need to retransmit bulky photo files internally or to your printing shop.
We deliver images as jpgs which are, in effect, compressed tifs. Our test indicate that, at the compression setting we use, there is no discernable difference between the jpg & tif in print quality, but 40 MB tifs are reduced to jpgs roughly a quarter the size. There is an extra charge for clients who want a tif.
While we can attach a hi-res photo to an email, it may exceed the size you are allowed by your mail provider, be screened by your firewall or antivirus policies or clog your mailbox at an inconvenient time. We cannot send Ultra-hi-res files as email attachments as they are too large.
How to save & resize images.
Once the photo is on your screen, right click the image, select the "Save Image As" option & then follow the normal save steps.
To resize an image, you or your graphics shop need a program like Adobe Photoshop. In such photo editing software, select the Image menu , then Image Size & change size & dpi.

Photo editing permitted.
Alterations may not denigrate the subject or cast doubt on the artistry of the photographer.
Otherwise you may crop, change to black & white or sepia tones, bleed into backgrounds, use in collages or do anything reasonable for impact or artistic effect. If you have doubts, ask the photographer first.

How to find photos.
If you seek a particular town or subject within a country or state go to the country index or subject index,
select the country or state or subject, & scan the captions or use your Browser's search function (Ctrl+F) to find keywords.
If you do not find the photo you need, please email us a description & what you need to accomplish with the image. We have many photos yet to post.
What photos are available for licensing.
Most images can be licensed, though the Ultra-hi-res version may not be available in all cases.
Some photos are embargoed for certain purposes.
If you order a photo with limitations, we will notify you and, if possible, suggest an alternative.
How to test photos before ordering.
We give you permission to use the low-resolution version, pulled from our website, to mock up a layout design & get approvals before you order.
If you want to test a hi-resolution file for suitability in your layout process, please click our sample hi-res photo file. (There is no sample of our ultra-hi-res versions, but it will be twice as large.)
Posters.
At this time we do not sell posters however, you can license the right to have our jpgs made into one-off personal posters.
We do not allow the mass production of our images in poster format for commercial sale, though they can be used with permission & fees on organizational promotional posters.
If you are considering a personal poster, please first contact a printing shop or large camera store in your town to price their various sizes. Then by knowing the size of print you want, you can order our hi-res or ultra-hi-res jpgs.

Applying for donated photos by charitable groups.
We get frequent requests from non-profit groups wanting photo contributions. Projects in conflict with paying clients, cannot be granted out of fairness (e.g. use in textbooks). To consider requests, we need the following.
Name & contact details of the charitable organization.
A short description of the project for which you need the donation or price reduction & how the photo will be used.
Make it clear you are asking for a donation or discount.
A list of photo URL addresses you are requesting (we rarely give more than two or three & we are more amenable if you are licensing others).
Confirm that the photographer & TravelPhotoBase.com will be credited beside each photo.
Date you need the photo.
State if you can use photos off the website or if you need hi-res. (Note: ultra-hi-res are not donated).
What can you afford? We may not extend free photos, but we may be able to meet a proposal. (Remember it actually costs us out-of-pocket to process an order.)
Affirm that the organization agrees to abide by terms as listed on this photo order page.
Photos delivered on CD-ROM.
CD-ROM delivery is available, but there is an additional per order fee of $25 per CD-ROM plus shipping charges & it takes longer.
Slide duplicates.
We do not supply slide duplicates.
If you ask because you want better resolution by working from a slide, consider that our scanners are equal to those in most print shops & we scan originals.
If you want to illustrate a lecture, consider projecting our electronic photos from your laptop.
