Can I use Adobe Stock images labeled 'Editorial Use Only' in a published policy research report from a think tank NGO? The report is our own institutional research output, distributed publicly.

    Editorial Use Only is for journalistic, public interest or news reporting purposes. No commercial or promotional use allowed. 

    See Editorial restrictions below.
