Can Adobe Stock Photos be used for Book Covers?

[hanse25263277]

SO I have this question also, if I use an Adobe image for a book cover, non-fiction, no humans no places on it, it can be used right? Because the content of the book is the value to the product and not the image?

Branching to a new discussion,

Hi Hans,

Thanks for reaching out to the Stock team.

The answer to your question is yes an Adobe Stock image can be used for a book cover, however, if you are using an unmodified image it is important to give a credit to the photographer("© [Photographer's name] /Adobe Stock").

If the images are modified, then the credit line becomes optional.

Note: It entirely depends on the modification of the image, if the changes are minor(for example only colour change etc) you must provide a credit to the photographer. 

Hope this information helps!

Feel free to update this thread in case of any additional questions.
