Note:  Here’s a generalized explanation of the difference between Royalty Free photos and Managed Rights photos.

Royalty Free is a term used for non-specific, generic photos that are usually purchased from organizations such as Getty, iStock, Corbis, Jupiter, and many lesser known, but high-quality on-line galleries.

 RF is best distinguished from RM (Rights Managed) photos by price and content.

 RF photos are generic and inexpensive (often $5, but sometimes $500 when used for advertising and promotional purposes). Multiple RF photos can also be purchased by subscription.

Rights Managed photos are highly-targeted and most always are specific in content and always match the theme of a magazine, promotion campaign, or book publisher. They range in fee from $75 to $500 depending on placement in the layout and the press run of the entity. Not often, but in some cases these fees can be multiplied by a factor on ten.
