Delight in Adobe Stock Photos Curated by Adobe

Adobe Stock photos are high quality, royalty-free images curated by Adobe, read our review here. They are world class images integrated with Creative Cloud applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator CC for easier and faster photo-editing jobs. Adobe acquired Fotolia to provide its users with a wider collection of images, videos, illustrations and graphics. In fact, it currently has over 45 million creative files in its library.

With millions of images in its library, Adobe named its own stock photo agency Adobe Stock where you can find the perfect images to jump-start your creative project. The best part is you can actually make these images amazing through Adobe Creative Cloud desktop apps. With just a few clicks, you can instantly download your images directly to your CC software and license them whenever you need to.

Adobe Stock gives courtesy to Creative Cloud users by giving 40% discount when you add the image subscription to the Creative Cloud subscription. If you are already using Photoshop as your primary photo-editing application, you will greatly benefit by making Adobe Stock as your primary image source as well. You get to save time and effort downloading the images to your computer and opening them to your photo-editing software, click here for info.

What about non-Creative Cloud users?

If you are a non-Creative Cloud user, you do not have to worry. You can still use Adobe Stock as your primary image source. The stock photo agency also works as a standalone website. This means that you can purchase and download images even without a Creative Cloud subscription. You can purchase a single image or subscribe to a monthly plan with the regular rate. Currently, the website also offers a subscription plan for videos.

Adobe Stock Free Trial

Adobe Stock also offers free trial for creative professionals to determine if the stock agency meets their demanding needs and budget. The free trial is valid for one month, giving users 10 free images to download and use within the next month. The best part is you can cancel anytime within the first month. If you feel the website caters to your creative needs, you do not have to renew your subscription. It will be automatically renewed and your first month will be refunded when you sign up for an annual subscription plan.

The Adobe Stock photos are directly opened to your CC application. How does this work? As soon as you find the low-resolution version of your favored image, you can open it with your software and work on them. If you decide that it is the perfect image for your project, you can directly license the image there. Automatically, the lower-resolution image will be replaced with a high-resolution one, saving you from hours of rework.
