Hi All,

I have the Photoshop + Adobe Stock Creative Cloud for individuals – Photoshop + Adobe Stock (10 assets a month). I want to use Adobe Stock images on my post, disucssing various topic. Can I use Adobe Stock images to do that without it being labeled or considered copyright infringement?  For example, I might discuss shoes, sneakers and make a post about old sneakers and new sneakers. "Nike used to make this shoe and it was good. But now, they've discontinued it and replaced it with this:" Showing an image downloaded from my Adobe Stock plan of both images. Is that okay to do? Can I use the images from Adobe Stock for visual in my post?

Yes, of course. You can use Adobe Stock images in your blog posts. However, if you use any images marked "Editorial" to illustrate Nike shoes, for instance, you have to provide attribution. Read more about it here.

You have to use attribution for any asset that you use in an editorial like sense. What you described is editoral use, even if the asset has not been marked as "editorial use only". Those assets can ONLY be used in an editorial use. You can't use them for your background, you can't modify them, you can't use them in an advert, etc. That's "editorial use ONLY".
