Photo credits for a book

Question

Hello,
I am the author of a non-fiction book that is using images from Adobe Stock. I have an urgent and important question: do I have to credit each image with the photographer's name / Adobe Stock, or it would just be a plus, out of courtesy? The information concerning this issue is a bit ambiguous I find on Adobe Stock website. There is no doubt that an 'editorial use only' image has to be credited this way, but it seems that all the other images are not required to be accompanied by a credit line.Am I right?Many thanks in advance for your help, we are about to finalise the file for the printer, would not want to make a big mistake &#128521;
All the best
elodie

I would suggest, you credit the authors.

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).
