You know the work is worth more than one fee

A residential or a commercial project. The address starts the search: the moment you add it, the property goes looking on its own for everyone connected to it, the architect, builder, developer and designer, plus the product and material brands installed on the job, then finds how to reach each of them. Upload a photo from your archive and Resid finds the appliance and fixture brands right in the image. Your first three scans are free on any plan; Pro makes it unlimited. The whole buyer list, with contacts, laid out for you, so you never leave the app to hunt down an email.

For every buyer, the calculator recommends a fee from real licensing data across top photographers and agencies, tuned to who is buying and how they'll use it. No more guessing, and no more underpricing.

Resid drafts two versions of a warm, role-aware licensing email in your voice, so a builder hears "the home you built" on a house and "the project you built" on a commercial job, and an architect "the building you designed." You pick the one you like, add your own signature, and send it from your own inbox, so every reply comes straight back to you. Busy people miss emails, so if you want it, Resid sends a polite nudge on day four and again on day ten, in the same thread, and stops the moment they pay, or when you mark that they replied. When the thread stays quiet, Resid writes the same ask as a direct message and as a text for you to send by hand, and records the touch when you say you sent it.

Each buyer opens a private, branded Resid gallery and selects what they want. Film plays right there, behind the same email gate as the photographs, so nobody leaves for a third-party link, and they can select the exact cuts they need, the master, the thirty, the vertical, and leave a note on the exact second. The full-resolution files and films release the moment they pay. A license agreement is generated naming the exact images or cuts it covers, carrying its own reference number so either side can quote it later, and recording that the buyer accepted the terms by paying. After the first payment, Resid emails them a client portal for the licenses they hold with you: the files, the agreement, a later quote, and Renew this license when that term is up. Every dollar lands in a ledger you can hand your accountant.

Every license has an end date, and Resid watches it so you do not have to. Thirty days before the term runs out, and again at seven, Resid drafts the buyer a renewal offer with the same scope and a fresh agreement, priced from the original. Approve it from your Outbox, or turn on Auto renew reminders for that license with Gmail connected and it goes out from your own inbox without you. They can also press Renew this license on the client portal Resid emailed them. The second year of a license is the part most photographers never collect, because it depends on remembering. This is the step that makes one shoot recurring rather than one-off.
