If you are happy with that figure thats all that matters. Traditional image libraries always differentiate between selling the picture as a product itself or using it in promotional literature. They then have a number 'off'/impressions scale of charges. CDs fall between categories because the image, although not being sold as a print, it is ON a product being sold (as opposed to a leaflet promoting it). I 'sold' a photo being used on 50,000 shoe boxes for £1400 ....15 years ago. But they were a biggish company and it was before the extensive Royalty Free stock images you can buy, for peanuts. In contrast, last Christmas I was asked to incorporate some studio preshot furniture into lifestyle/garden/outdoor settings. I sourced suitable background images for 'pence'! (background egs below cost £2!) So at the end of the day its how much you feel comfortable getting and fingers crossed they dont abuse the trust. Attachment: furniture.jpg (Downloaded 41 times)

I work for a small record company occasionally and that sum seems in line. You may request a credit and 1 or 2 copies of the finished CD. I wouldn't give them exclusive or inclusive rights for that sum, just permission to use it on their CD cover, promo for the CD including T-shirts, mugs etc. Most of these small releases only press a few hundred to a thousand CDs and and are mainly sold by the groups themselves.

As Eric says if you are happy with that amount then fine. I would have asked for £300 for use for the CD cover only.

What was the image you sold Jeff ? There are so many images to choose from these days that unless you have a connection to the customer or are a big name photographer it is difficult to get sales. Payments for use of image is great as long as you are happy with the payment amount. Well done.

Nice shot by the way. I can see how it could be very usable. You should reply to them and ask for a copy of the finished CD artwork for your portfolio. :thumbsup:
