There are a number of different categories of stock photos including: Rights Managed, Rights Ready, Royalty Free, Micro Stock, and Subscription Stock. With Rights Managed stock every use is recorded and licensees have the ability to secure exclusivity if they wish. Prices vary depending on the uses including time, size, territory, industry and so forth. One can expect to pay a higher price for say, exclusive one-year national use on billboards than a one-time use in a local newspaper.

With Rights Ready licensing the client pays for a package of rights and can use the images for ten years. Royalty Free images can be licensed for a fee usually based on the size of the file, and generally has the right to use the image indefinitely and for a wide variety of purposes. Micro Stock, a relative newcomer to the stock industry, refers to collections that are primarily supplied by amateurs and licensed similarly to Royalty Free but at much lower prices. With subscription stock an annual or bi-annual fee earns the licensee the right to download a given number of images over a specified period of time, again with rights based on the Royalty Fee structures.
