The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust sued Rick Norigian last year to stop him from selling prints of dozens of negatives he bought at a garage sale.
Norigian hired a team of experts which declared the negatives were Adams' early work that was believed to have been destroyed by a fire in 1937.
The Adams family disputed that.
A settlement reached this week allows Norigian to sell merchandise connected to the slides, but he's not allowed to use Ansel Adams' name.
