A click on "My account" on the top left side of the screen lets you have a look at all your data and you can adjust them. Furthermore an overview of all your previous orders is displayed, showing the date of order, date of shipping, order number, names of pictures etc.

Use wish-list

Pictures, which you like most, which you plan to order in near future or which you want to remember for any other reasons, you can put into the wish-list (but only when you are logged-in!).
The wish-list remains untouched, when you leave the shop, and you can use it again after your next login.


It works like this

Open the detailed view of the wanted picture.

There you click on "add to wishlist" and the picture is saved.

You display the wish-list by clicking on "articles" under the headline "Wish-list" on the left side of the screen.

Picture rights of use

• For a fee of 20 EUR per picture you obtain the "simple" right of use. This means that you can once (!) use or print this picture in a magazine/newspaper/book/brochure or in an online publication.



• For a fee of 50 EUR per picture you obtain the "exclusive" right of use. This means that you can use or print this picture in various magazines/newspapers/books/brochures or in online publications as long and as often you want.



• If you want all rights for a picture for your own, please contact us (the price depends on the subject; normally it is about 150 to 500 EUR). In this case we delete the picture file from our database so you are sure, that noone else can buy the same picture.



• When publishing one of our pictures we ask you to print the following caption: © naturganznah.de

Resale or embedding in any picture collections, shops etc. is therefore only allowed, if you have first bought the picture with all rights.

Pixel and DPI, picture size and resolution

Pixel

A pixel is the smallest element of a digital picture. Pixel is the abbreviation of "picture element".
Simply, pixels are rectangular points on the screen, all of which form the whole picture like a mosaic. The real size of a pixel is not always the same; it depends from the monitor and its resolution. The colour of each pixel on the monitor is a mixture of the three basic colours red, green and blue.

A picture resolution of 640 x 480 pixels means therefore, that each row of the whole picture consists of 640 horizontal and each column of 480 vertical picture elements. So all in all the picture consists of 307.200 pixels.


The higher the number of pixels, the better the picture quality

The quality of a picture depends on ist resolution. The higher the number of pixels, the better and sharper will be the print and the presentation on the monitor.


What means DPI ?

DPI means dots per inch and plays an important role in printing. The higher this number, the "nearer together" are the picture elements (pixels) on the paper: the printing so gets sharper and more detailed, but at the same time smaller in dimensions. Therefore if you want to print in high quality and in large dimensions, you need an adequate high number of pixels. Following are some examples.


Examples of calculation

Example 1
Print of a picture with 2048 x 3072 pixels and 300 dpi:
2048 pixels/300 = 6,83 inch; the picture width in printing is therefore 6,83 inch
3072 pixels/300 = 10,24 inch; the picture height in printing is therefore 10,24 inch

Example 2
Print of a picture with 2048 x 3072 pixels and 72 dpi:
2048 pixels/72 = 28,44 inch; the picture width in printing is therefore 28,44 inch
3072 pixels/72 = 42,67 inch; the picture height in printing is therefore 42,67 inch

Tabelle 1: Definition of the picture quality dependent on the resolution

Resolution in dpi	Quality
< 100 dpi	very bad
100 - 150 dpi	moderate
150 - 200 dpi	average
200 - 300 dpi	good
> 300 dpi	optimal
