You may be the "sole owner" of the photograph, the camera you took it with, and you might even be the owner of the car.

But you don't own the rights to the design of the car, nor to the Cadillac insignia, nor to the brand name "Cadillac." So even if you were able to correct the technical problems with the image, such as the loss of detail in the shadows, you won't be able to overcome the IP issues.

Put yourself in the customer's shoes. Would you buy this? What would you use it for?

Now put yourself in the shoes of the car maker/designer who didn't authorize the commercial use of their product on a billboard, magazine or video. I think they would be very upset, don't you?

Adobe Stock customers expect highest visual and technical quality for use in million dollar commercials. And the images you contribute to Stock must be free of any legal entanglements or questions about ownership. This is necessary to protect you, the Stock customers and Adobe from possible lawsuits.

Hi Nancy, thank you for your reply.

I must say that automobiles should not be in this category since we are not rebuilding the vehicles property in our designs. Further more I would also mention that this photoshoot was addressed by General Motors Canada (Cadilac Division) to create a video for the all new CT5 Cadillac. These are a few photos of that day.

I understand that what you are saying and what Stock Adobe wants....however if someone is running a campaign with an ad to sell the vehicle I am sure that General Motors would not hold back on it due it helps them sell vehicles. (Fact since I was almost 7 years with the brand as an brand ambassador and sells)

Every advertisment regarding cadillac needs to be run through Cadillac for final approval anyway, so even if a company hired by Cadillac decides to choose my picture for an ad that would be ok since again it needs a final approval.

I thank you for your time and effort to bring this more to light but I think the lawyers of ADOBE should look at it again since if you put any car makers name in the search for photos you will see all types of BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Cadillac, etc... all available in the search category.

Still confused about this double standard but I will keep my self according to their guidlines and see what comes out of it.

Appreciated and thank you again

Then get a property release from GM and submit it with the image. You'll still have to fix the technical problems, though.

the photograph is quite dark, it loses a lot of detail

I also would like to add that additional other pictures of mine got IP tagged & Copyright as well,...how is that even possible when I am the sole owner of the picture?
