License the work for how it is used

Usage is part of the value

A commercial image is not priced only by the time required to make it. Media, territory, duration, placement, exclusivity, and other usage terms shape the value the client receives. StudioLedger keeps those terms with the image and project instead of leaving the license inside a forgotten PDF.

Rights management records what was granted, which files it covers, when the term begins, and when it expires. The studio can return to the project history and understand the active agreement without reconstructing it from an estimate, email, and delivery folder.

The gallery can carry the licensing offer

A gallery can present images with a reusable price sheet so the client selects what it needs and completes a licensing purchase from the work itself. The resulting license, files, client, and payment remain connected rather than becoming an anonymous store order.

The studio controls the terms and available products. Gallery licensing does not erase the need for a deliberate usage model; it gives that model a clear client-facing path from selection to purchase and download.

Tiered pricing rewards the right quantity

Price sheets can define quantity thresholds and percentage discounts. When an order reaches a threshold, the highest qualifying tier sets the discounted price for every image in that purchase. This is a volume discount across the order, not a separate price attached only to the last few images.

StudioLedger calculates and records the discount at checkout, keeping the rule consistent with the price sheet the studio prepared. The client can see the pricing logic before completing the licensing order.

Expiration creates a useful next action

Upcoming expirations make renewals visible before the usage quietly continues beyond the agreement. The studio can review the client, images, previous scope, dates, and price history, then prepare the next conversation with evidence rather than memory.
