Extended license

Hey

 

Is it correct that if a customer have an extended license they can download any of my photos and sell them as wall art? 
I get like $0.50 and they can sell it for $500?!

I just found a site doing that and I had no idea they would be able to do that. 

Is that correct?!

 

Looking forward to hearing from anybody

It sounds like you are referencing an API partner site which buys one time use only licenses when their customers select an Adobe Stock image. This is different than Extended license use. 

 

Adobe Stock has many API partnerships. These sites are allowed to display the Adobe Stock collection for their customers to choose from. If a customer purchases their product and selects your image to be featured on it, a one-time-use license is purchased through your Adobe Stock account. 

 

If another customer wants to use the same image, another license is purchased. These partnerships drive massive visibility and revenue to Adobe Stock contributors.

    @MatHayward,

    Thank you for the clarification.  That makes a lot more sense.

    I think that's a bit exaggerated.  Extended licenses allow buyers to use your image as part of another product for resale. For example, merchandise like textiles, t-shirts or coffee mugs; a movie, commercial or video; product packaging, branding & templates, etc...

    Or, surely, a printed piece of wall art?

    If it was edited and/or composited with other elements to create a uniquely original wall art, sure.  As long as the final product is NOT the original asset itself as that would be theft.

    You wouldn't get 50 cents for an extended license, but sure, that's one of the key uses of stock, especially print-on-demand. You might indeed get 50 cents for a photo used in a multimillion dollar advert, the cover of Time, an Adobe splash page, or for a huge building-sized mural. Or a Church newsletter.
