How to cite Adobe stock images on website

How do I cite adobe stock images that I intend to use on an Adobe website? These images are available in the "free" subscription, and I do not see any information on author/ photographer. Do I need to cite these in-text and in a bibliography?

 

Thank you!

    You need to credit Adobe stock only when you use the assets in an editorial like situation (or when you credit other authors). How and where you do that is up to you, and depends on common sense and how you credit other assets.  You see, it's flexible. If you have absolutely no clue, check how the newspaper credit assets.

     

    See here for more information on this: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/help/usage-licensing.html

    • When editorial images are used in print, websites, blogs, etc., you must include the credit line mentioned on the Adobe Stock website and contained in the IPTC credit line field. For example, “Agency Name/Author Name - stock.adobe.com." 

    • When images or videos are used in films, TV shows, podcasts, and so on, you must include the credit “Image(s) and/or video(s) used under license from Agency Name/Author Name - stock.adobe.com.” 

    Unquote.

    (nb. this is for illustrative editorial, but it is also needed for assets that are not marked as illustrative editorial, but are used in an editorial sense)

     

    The author's name can be found on the licensing history page, the asset's page and in the IPTC fields.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
