Choosing the Right License
The right image rights license for you will depend on your specific needs. If you are only planning to use the images for internal purposes, then the Editorial Use license may be sufficient. However, if you plan to use the images in your marketing and branding materials, then you may want to consider the Commercial Use or Unlimited Use licenses.
