What does "prominently" mean?

When using the Standard License, what exactly does this sentence mean?

"Cannot use asset prominently in merchandise or products for resale"

For example, if I purchase calligraphy of "Happy New Year", can I combine this with an original photograph or illustration, then use it in merchandise?

    Donn,

    No, if you are downloading a Stock photo of a puppy and modifying them, for using the asset in merchandise you will require an Extended license since it retains its originality.

    Hi Donn,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Adobe Stock community.

    If you are purchasing a calligraphy from Adobe Stock and using it with other illustrations and or with an original photograph(which is not a part of Adobe Stock), then the image as it is becomes modified. In such a scenario you can use it for merchandise under Standard license.

    Note: I would suggest you to modify the images to an extent that they do not resemble the original one or do not retain the originality and use them as per your requirements.

    However, if you are using the exact asset from the Adobe Stock website for merchandise, you must purchase an Extended license.

    For more information on the licensing terms and restrictions, please refer to Stock Licensing & terms FAQ: Where can I find the terms and licensing information for Adobe Stock?

    Hope this information helps!

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

    Regards,

    Thanks Twarita.

    How about stock photos? If they are modified, can they also be used on merchandise?

    For example, if I have a stock photo of a puppy, can it be incorporated in merchandise if the photo has a filter or other effects applied to it?
