Can I sell a manipulated combined image with a standard licence?

Hi,

I have made a floral type design as a personal design for my boyfriend for our own home. I have had a request from someone who wants to buy the design with different text. I have used two stock photos, edited their colours, masked out areas, and blended them into one single image.

Can I share this design on social media with a standard licence? And can I sell this design with a standard licence? I will not be selling many copies.

Do I need add a credit in this case? 

I have read the terms but but I find them unclear in this case.

Here is is a link to the design and some temporary screenshots of the stock images used:

Thank you

    Hi Sarah,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Adobe Stock community.

    As you are combining two images from Adobe Stock together and modifying them, you may use a standard license in this scenario. However, the image is considered modified when the final modified version of the image shows no resemblance with the original image.

    Note: Credit line needs to be added only when the image is used unmodified.

    For more information, please refer to Stock Licensing & terms FAQ: Where can I find the terms and licensing information for Adobe Stock?

    Feel free to update this thread in case of any additional questions.

    Regards,

    Twarita

    Can I share this design on social media with a standard licence? yes

    And can I sell this design with a standard licence? My personal understanding is yes, as you modified the pictures in a way that creates a distinct work. That distinct work is a whole, one of the 2 pictures would not give the same impression. Additionally you added style elements of your own. -- I would love however to get a qualified answer from Adobe on this, so looping in Sheena Kaul​ or twaritar3263062​.

    Do I need add a credit in this case? No.

    (As I said, this is my personal interpretation of the license terms. Please note that I'm not working for Adobe.)
