[APML] Image value program (software)

["Brian Larmay" <brileau@earthlink.net>]

Since my last encounter with coleum and a planetarium asking for my
pictures, i got curious and found these useful links.
I found a nice program that informs you the worth of your picture to just
about any magazine out there.
You would be surprised at what sky + telescope or Astronomy mag would pay
for an image of yours that they really want.
It is a collaboration of photographers efforts and inputs on their dealings
with these magazines basically, and quotes they give.
For anyone who really wants to get a start with this type of approach, these
two links are great starting points to learning more of how to bargain with
magazines etc.

It is up to you if it is in your heart to give these pictures you take
away....sometimes yes, sometimes no.
I did end up giving those two pics away which they hold no rights to, but
now I can say my efforts are out there for others to take note in.
When I feel the conditions are right, I will bargain
