Question

Hey, I'm new in using adobe stock, just purchased an extended licence for a pic and wanted to some simple adjustments on photoshop (contrast and shading). It doesn't work. When I add the layers, the changes are mostly lost. With a screenshot of the photo that doesn't happen. So are adobe photos restricted for editing? Is there something I'm not doing right? I never experienced this problem with photoshop...

Hi Jessica,

 

There are absolutely no software restrictions to edit and modify stock assets, and this is true for Adobe stock, but also for its competitors. Indeed, it is essential to the buyer that he can modify the asset to their needs. There are some legal limits, but those won't probably apply to you.

 

If you give the asset ID to us, we could check about your problems, and we may advise what to do. I suspect some kind of Photoshop issue, like saving the asset somewhere in a different format, but opening the original data again, instead of the modified data. I would check that first, it happened once to me…

What is your OS and version, what is your Photoshop version? A JPEG file is such a basic file type, and saving is such a basic operation, I doubt that it is Photoshop.

 

Where are you saving your data? Cloud? Local disk? External disk? Stick?

Hi,

 

Adobe Stock Photos are not restricted from editing. What exactly are your steps for the Editing? It seems that it can be a hadnling Problem of Photoshop itself?! What are the Layer Options and how did you save that changes? Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for the reply, I was adding the layer brightness and contrast, changed both parameters, saw the change, wanted to reduce all visible layers and parts of the change disappeared (weirdly in the centre of the pic). It did not matter whether I saved it or not, the change was not there. I really don't understand it, never had such an issue with photoshop
