IMAGE RIGHTS · Workflow idea

Mark an image clearly while preserving its original and respecting the people and work it depicts.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, prepare a watermarked copy of an authorized image for its rights holder to review. Watermarking does not grant reuse rights and an overlay can obscure required credits or accessibility. Confirm ownership and permission, preserve an unchanged original, inspect placement and legibility, avoid publishing identifiable people without consent, and require the rights holder to approve the final image and use. Keep personal and confidential details limited to approved people, verify key facts and rights, and require an accountable person to approve the exact result before it is shared or acted on.
