Standard licence terms for book use?

[Jon26473893n1s4]

I wanted to use a couple of stock images in a book with print run of only 200.  Am I right in assuming that I can use this under Standard licence terms.

[Marianne-Deiters · Accepted solution]

Yes, that is correct. As it says in the licence conditions: "Most Adobe Stock photos, vectors, and illustrations come with a Standard license. With a Standard license, you may:

Reproduce up to 500,000 copies of the asset in all media, including product packaging, printed marketing materials, digital documents, or software."

So would it be OK to use the Standard Image License inside a non-profit making book? 

[Abambo · Accepted solution]

From the licensing perspective, there is no difference between for-profit and non-profit uses. A standard licence can be used, if the incentive to acquire the book is not based mainly on the images (like a photo book), but is only supporting the content (like a textbook with some images).

I agree with @Marianne-Deiters that you will not need a higher licence than a standard one, based on what you told us.

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.

Along the lines of this string, I am contemplating using Adobe Stock Images of specific cars (make, model, year) in a book. The photos will be used to support the text, such as  "Here is an example of the vents on the fender of the car."  Looking at the images in Adobe Stock, they are "Editorial Only."   The book will be approximately 200 pages in lenth.

Can I use these images in my book?

Read the Adobe Stock License Agreement. Editorial images cannot be used in Commercial projects. You should use the Editorial filter on the Buyer Portal to exclude such images from your search.

Thank you, Jill.

Your application is not the standard blogging type, but I still think that you can use the asset. Reading your description, I'm persuaded that your application is editorial use. If still in doubt, you will need to ask a lawyer specialized in these matter.

Thank you. for your feedback.  More specifically, my work will be a hard-cover book with about 175 pages and 100 photographs of corvettes.   A typical page will contain a narrative/description/story about the specific model and a photo or two.   My objective is to have every photo taken by me.  However, I may find the need to use some of the "editorial" licensed images from Adobe stock.  I hope to have it published and sold.

I've well understood your book project. Good luck and success.
