Thanks for your further suggestions on this - It will most likely be like this:
There will be a shopping cart function so that multiple items can be "added to cart" before "checkout". Since this requires some coordination with each specific payment processor, we will most likely build the default version towards paypal. Later on we can most likely modify the generic cart so that it works towards other payment processors also.
As for purchasing on an image-by-image basis, this will be a basic procedure where a specific payment link can be created for each image that goes towards the processor.
I expect that sooner or later some users may start to ask about having a system that, after purchase, provides the full-resolution photo to the buyer. This is currently relatively wide of our focus area, so it would have to be considered at a later point.
