Years ago I began to  create  a kid's book using Ilustrator. I started tracing google searched images not realizing that most images are copyrighted! I'm trying to learn about stock images and which images I can legally modify and use in my book.  I am quite confused!

 is there a way to easily identify which images I  can modify in Adobe Stock?

Do I need an extended lisence ?   Let's saY, 5 years from now, an image creator look's in my book and discover's that I modifed his image. How would it be known that I purchased a lisence? 

Will I have to buy a lisence every year??

Please help!!!  TY!!!

The License Terms on this page will answer most of your questions.

License information and Terms of Use | Adobe Stock

All licenses allow you to modify images.

If you intend to incorporate images into a product for resale, you will need an extended license.

Licenses are good forever; you will not need to renew the license annually, or ever, to keep it valid.

If someone comes across their image in your book, they "should" recognize it as an image that they contributed to Adobe Stock and should not question your use of it.

Thanks Jill,

I just want to  clarify ---I hope to sell my book, therefore I need an extended lisence, correct?

 

TY again!

Correct. Using images in products for resale requires an extended license.
