Social Media Attribution

Question

I license a photo under the standard license. I post on Facebook. Do I add the @Photographer/Adobe Stock on that image?

I license a free photo under the standard license. I post on Facebook. Do I add the @Photographer/Adobe Stock on that image?

The terms and conditions on this topic are not directly clear and there are no recent posts in Discussion asking this question. So if anyone can clarify for me, please and thank you.

There is no difference between paid an free licences. It's the licence that sets, what you can do with the asset. Free licences come with a standard licence.

But in all licence cases: if an asset is used in an editorial setting (blog, like on social media!), you need to credit. Even if it is a free or a Premium asset. The terms and conditions are very clear on this.

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
