It is important to be clear on this topic - images and other copyrighted works are subject to copyright protection. This means that the copyright of an image belongs to the photographer who shot it. These rights can not be sold or transferred , ie the customer doesn't buy the copyright, but a license to use the image under certain conditions. Images with royalty free license (abbreviated RF) most often are quite affordable, but this type of licensing means they are available to many clients simultaneously and in different websites for sale. This increases the likelihood that if you use such images for your projects you may find that same image is simultaneously used for other projects, including ones that may prove competitive to your own.
Advantages: affordable Disadvantages: it is possible that other customers use the same image in their projects at the same time as you do The disadvantages of RF images can be avoided by purchasing license for the so-called "exclusive images".
