Hi Perian, My advice is to keep things as simple as possible.
The National Gallery of Art does not charge use, permission, or image access fees to download or use works of art available through Open Access. We do charge processing fees to offset costs of providing additional imaging services, such as creating guide prints, making new photographs or customizing and formatting existing photography. We don’t make any special fee schedules for publishers or other types of users. If someone can utilize the image available on NGA Images, great. If they need to order special processing the applicable fees are caclulated based on the work requested, not who is requesting the work. Open Access and NGA Images (5 years old in March!) have been a great success for us institutionally. Glad to hear you are looking at this.
