Hi, Am I able to purchase an image from Adobe and incorporate that image into my own artwork and upload to Adobe Stock, for example purchasing an image of the earth when creating a general image of space.

Tricky question. It depends on the level of modification you add. But the general answer would be no. It may be possible under an extended licence.

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

Hi Abambo, Many thanks for your reply. In that case does that mean every element of your image that you upload to Adobe Stock must be created by yourself or is it possible to purchase imagery, in my case an image of the earth for a general image of space from another stock library and incorporate that image in my own final image for upload to Adobe Stock.

You would have to read the license agreements of those other stock libraries.
