Can i use (Photoshop, Lightroom) for Sensual Photography with (Semi-)Nudes, NO explicit activities)

[atelier_2944]

Hi,

can i use Photoshop and/or Lightroom for editing, managing and storing sensual photoshoots (including (semi-)nudes, but NO explicit activities)?

I DO NOT want to use it for abuse or any ill-mindet activites like deep fakes. 

Only legal photoshoots with all participanting persons being at legal age and agreed to do the shooting with free will. 

I just asked this question an Adobe Agent via Chat Support and the answer was "No, you cant!" and then the agent abrubtly ended the conversation. Is that true? 

Please let me know as i have no bad intentions at all and i do not want to violate any adobe rules, i just want to know if i can use adobe products for this or need to buy different companies products.

I am just a small creative photostudio.

Thank you very much for your help!

See this for Adobe's policy:

You didn't say if you were going to be using Generative AI or not. If you are, then the image uses Adobe servers and your content may be blocked.

Yes you are right, i should specify. 

I am aware of the AI restrictions. I want to know specifically for non-ai use, as storing and syncing via lightroom cloud and editing via Lightroom Panels or Camera RAW and other non-ai techniques. 

i did read the the link you just gave, thats why i was quite shocked by the answer and quick ending of that support agent chat.
