Image Protection
Protected at Every Step
All images protected through embedded metadata, preservation technologies, and archival standards.
Website previews are low-resolution and watermarked. Full-resolution files are released only through protected licensing and download functionality, under signed agreement. Copyright notices and embedded copyright metadata travel with every file.
To request licensing, include the image or collection name, intended use, territory, and duration. The licensing office responds with terms and protected delivery.
