Permissions guidelines
Stock art, clip art, and photographs
Any digital images, stock photographs, clip art, or other artistic work (collectively "images") delivered with any Adobe product may be used in accordance with the rights set out in the End-User License Agreement that ships with that Adobe product. If your intended use falls within the terms of the End-User License Agreement or other product documentation, further written permission is not required.
Please note that images contained on Adobe product boxes may not be used except as provided in the guidelines for box shots.
Any use of images delivered with an Adobe product and not provided for in the End-User License Agreement, requires written permission from Adobe. In some instances, images included in the Adobe products may be owned by a third party and licensed under terms different than those contained in the Adobe End-User License Agreement. Under these circumstances, the Terms of Use for third-party images are stated in ReadMe or text files associated with that image. If you are seeking to use third-party images or content outside the scope permitted in the terms of the ReadMe or text files, please contact the copyright owner directly for permission. It is unlikely that Adobe will be able to grant permission beyond that contained in the End-User License Agreement due to contractual restrictions, third-party rights, and other intellectual property restraints.
If you are still interested in requesting special permission for an Adobe image, please complete the online form and submit your request by e-mail. Please allow two weeks for your request to be processed.
Under no circumstances will Adobe license the reproduction, distribution, or modification of any third-party images displayed on Adobe.com. See use of material displayed on Adobe.com for further details.
