Adobe Stock photos

Can you take Adobe Stock photos and edit them and play around with them in Photoshop? Can you do it for free? It would be fun, because people could learn to use the apps before they bought a subscription. They could allow you to use some for free, or they could hold it until you paid for it.

In addition to the web site, you have two places in Photoshop where you can instantly get free Adobe Stock photos: On the File menu you can choose the command Place Free Adobe Stock Images, and (when the document has only an empty Background layer) in the Contextual Task Bar you can click the Add Free Stock Images button:

Yes to both questions. 

 

Adobe Stock includes some free images: https://stock.adobe.com/free . Start here.

 

You can also download a low-res preview that is watermarked. Once you pay you get a high-res image without a watermark.

 

You can play with either in Photoshop.

 

Photoshop has a 7-day free trial that rolls into an annual commitment unless you cancel within the trial period.

 

There is an discounted annual plan, paid monthly, with a fee for early cancellation and another plan that is month-to-month at full price that can be cancelled without penalty. The Photography plan (annual) is the best deal, but does have a penalty for early cancellation.

I moved this from Ideas to Discussions because this is already an option.
