Proper License for Poster Design

Question

Hello,

I do a lot of graphic art, and use images within my works. I'm confused on which license to go with. The images are heavily edited and altered. I know through Envato's network they specifically point out that works edited within poster art is allowed, but the Adobe terms are confusing me. The image is within the work (that I may or may not sell), but it's heavily altered/edited and not the focus of the design. Any help here on which license to use would be helpful. I attached an example of one of my pieces to help explain.

My question is, which license do you need for assets that you are highly editing?

By @geoffriccio

The licence you need for the use you have, irrespective of the editing.

I'm asking which license you need to create/sell poster work (...)

By @geoffriccio

You will need an extended licence for merchandising.

So, these two answers are the correct ones!

Now, if I understand your dilemma correctly, you are asking if by modifying drastically the original work, can you use a standard licence? That question will be answered by the courts in the case of a dispute.

It's like the sampling of music. When did you sample too much and need to pay the licensing fee and need the authorization?

I won't answer this for you, and I suppose no one will do. I, personally, would go for the extended licence.

If your question is, if you are allowed to edit stock assets, the answer is yes.
