A model release is a written agreement between the model and the photographer where the model has granted the photographer permission to use the photographs commercially. Model Release generally permits the use of the image(s) for all purposes, with exceptions for controversial, sensitive or defamatory uses.
When you enlarge a thumbnail image by clicking on it, the Model Release Status information is displayed below each stock image

When is a signed model release needed?
Images, which depict people, may require a signed model release. It is up to you to decide whether the license usage will require a release. You should be aware that when a model release is available additional considerations may mean that the model release in itself is not sufficient, e.g. if the image is to be used for sensitive issues.

What situations would make a signed model release void?
Some image uses would make a signed release void. Following is for guidance only and is not a full list :

  • Defamation of Character - embellishment, distortion or fictionalization of a person's character.
  • Sensationalized use - a use intended to distort the "truth" of an image.
  • Sensitive Issues
  • Alcohol
  • Gambling
  • Guns and weapons
  • Medical and mental health issues
  • Negative financial portrayal
  • Political fanaticism
  • Religious fanaticism
  • Sexual and sexual health issues
  • Tobacco
  • Always Remember!

No matter whom you are buying stock images from, us or anyone else, there is absolutely no way we can overemphasize the significance of these model release issues - if those images have recognizable people in them.

MAKE SURE that the photo agency you are dealing with has signed and "perfected" model releases and that they are available. Do NOT make the mistake of saying to yourself that, well, if there's a problem, it's the photo agency's problem, not mine. It is your problem and it can very rapidly become a huge one if you're not careful.

See our Help - Licensing page for more on how our images are licensed.

Depending on how the image was saved, it may open at a screen resolution of 72 dpi. This doesn't necessarily mean you downloaded a low-resolution image by mistake. Check the dimensions. Change the dpi of the image to 300 without re-sampling the image. If the dimensions come down to 5"x7.5"(10MB image), 9"x13.5"(31.2MB image) and 12"x18"(55.6MB image) when you change the dpi to 300, then you know you have the correct image. Simply re-save the image at 300 dpi.  

 

All the images are delivered in 'jpeg' format. Firstly, you must save an image downloaded from the website in 'tiff' format before making any adjustments or manipulations. This is because every time you resave a 'jpeg' image, it will lead to a loss in the quality of that image. Secondly, for the best quality, remember this general guideline: The image resolution (ppi) should remain equal to twice the screen frequency (lpi). You have options, however, to adjust the screen frequency, re-sample the image at a higher resolution, or lower the ppi-to-lpi ratio. For more details, read the following tips for enlarging images:

Tips for enlarging images

  • The Hi-res images on heritageindiaimages.com have been optimized for a final print size of 5"x7.5", 9"x13.5", 12"x18", 16"x24" and 20"x30", using a screen frequency of 150 lpi. You can, however, print the images at a larger size. For the best quality, remember the general guideline of keeping the image resolution (ppi) equal to twice the screen frequency (lpi).
  • Use a lower screen frequency.
  • If you require only a low screen frequency, you can enlarge the image and still maintain the 2:1 ratio of ppi to lpi. Lower screen frequencies will allow you to enlarge the images even further.
  • Re-sample the image to a higher resolution.
  • Many image-editing programs will allow you to re-sample an image to a higher resolution. Re-sampling will enable you to maintain the 2:1 ratio of ppi to lpi. Software programs can add data to your image by interpolating the colors of adjacent pixels in the image. This can cause the image to appear somewhat out of focus or blurry. To compensate for this, you may want to apply a sharpening filter to the image to eliminate some of the blurring. We recommend that you experiment with this technique to determine if the results will be satisfactory for your needs.
  • Use a lower ppi-to-lpi ratio, such as 1.5 to 1.
  • The recommendation of the image resolution (ppi) equaling twice the screen frequency (lpi) is to ensure the highest quality. You can go below this ratio with relatively little noticeable difference in quality. You should never go below a 1:1 ratio of ppi to lpi. Be sure to experiment with different ratios to determine which works best for your requirements.
 

As a general rule of thumb, our images can safely be enlarged to 125% of their original image size without affecting the quality - our images are regularly used on billboards. Since it's critical that you know what resolution you need for the output device, we recommend that you consult directly with your printer or service bureau to find out the specific capabilities of the device that will be used. And, of course, you can always Contact Us for more details. 

 

When an RGB image is converted to CMYK, several parameters must be taken into consideration, including paper stock, four-color film output device, layout software programs used, types of inks used and special effects intended by you, the designer. An RGB format provides you with the most flexible format. That's why we deliver images in Adobe RGB colour space.
