Hey everyone. I am a little confused. I would love to use an adobe stock image for commercial use that is listed for editorial use only. Although, it still gives me the option to purchase an extended license. Does this mean that it overwrites the editorial use only and allows me to use it for commercial use, or is the image only allowed to be used for editorial purposes? Thanks

Editorial use only is editorial use only, and there are reasons for that. An extended licence is needed for any print run of more than 500k, but you still can't use the asset to print it on a mug.

 

You will need to find a different picture for your use.

 

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).
