conflicting(?) cc licenses

[I thought I asked this once, but don't find it in the
archives and 
nobody responded. Apologies if repeated]

I am involved with a research conference that wishes to make
its 
accepted papers available under something like
Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5
but also make some images---including images that may be
embedded in the 
papers---available under a non-commercial license such as 
Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 or possibly 
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5. 

Do our wishes conflict? How should we deal with this while
leaving the 
owners the least work to permit unfettered commercial
attributed 
no-derivative use of the papers, but otherwise in commercial
control of 
the images while still making them freely available free for

non-commercial use.

It's possible that we could just go with
Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5 for 
everything, but in my experience, scientists have a strong
(often 
unjustified) belief that their beautiful images are of high
commercial 
value...

Thanks

Here is how I would handle it.
On the page where the standard copyright notice belongs, put
an ARR 
notice, with a pointer to the "Intellectual Property
Rights" page.

On the page labelled "Intellectual Property
Rights", there is a 
statement to the effect that material not listed below, is
covered by 
the licence on the Copyright Page.  Material listed on this
page is only 
covered by the ascribed license.

Article # 1:  This article was created by John Doe, and is
distributed 
under the CC-ND 2.5 Licence.
Article # 2:  This article was created John Q Public, and is
distributed 
under the CC-ND 2.5 Licence;
Image # 1:  This image was created by John Doe. It is used
under the 
CC-NC 2.5 Licence.
Image # 2:  This image was created by Jane Doe.  It is used
under the 
CC-NC 2.5 Licence.
etc.

Just make sure that all of the articles --- including the
introduction, 
preface, and appendices are listed on the "Intellectual
Property Rights" 
page. Also make sure that all graphics are listed on that
page.

The reason for doing it this way, is that every item is
clearly labelled 
as to what licence it is distributed under. It all announces
that the 
licence a specific work is distributed under takes precedent
over any 
other licences mentioned in the document.
