What to charge for PSD files
I have a client that I created magazine ads for (she owns the magazine) in the past. She just emailed asking what I would charge to the original PSD file. I have no idea what to charge, I told her in the beginning that I didn't give these out. But the magazine isn't doing so well and she wants to make updates herself, so what would I charge her for the PSD file?

We can't discuss specific pricing on the forum.
Did you have any kind of clause in your contract that would cover what they'd be worth should she want to purchase the original files?
Many on here also believe it's bad form to hold your files 'hostage'.Last edited by Virgo Nightingale; 06-22-2009, 07:50 PM. -

You might try going down to the local bookstore and sneaking a peek at a GAG Handbook (Graphic Artists' Guild). Or buy one online.
PSD file? Imagery?
Not a whole magazine in Photoshop...

Next question, why not import from Adobe to Gerber. We use signwares often. For output. Rarely for design (though some things are far easier to do in sgnwares over Illustrator...) -
