About comp images
Comp images are free, nonwatermarked, low-resolution versions of stock photos that you can download. You can
use comps to capture a feeling, idea, or concept before choosing the final image for a project. Comps are not licensed
for production, but you can use them in mock-ups or other preliminary work. Because comps are low-resolution
images, they're not suitable for printing or publishing. After an evaluation period, you can purchase a high-
resolution version of the image to continue working with the photo.
Metadata is bundled with comp images. This metadata is used in Adobe applications to recognize images as stock
photos, even if you rename them. You can purchase high-resolution versions of the images later, even after you move
a comp to a project folder or create other versions of the image.
You can view your downloaded comps by clicking Downloaded Comps in the Favorites pane, or you can navigate to
the default folder where comps are saved: My Documents/AdobeStockPhotos (Windows) or Documents/Adobe-
StockPhotos (Mac OS). You can move downloaded comps to any folder you want. To delete a comp in the Stock
Photos window, right-click it and then choose Send To Recycle Bin (Windows) or Control-click it and choose Move
To Trash (Mac OS).
For more information on using comps, see the terms of service (TOS), which describe when and for how long you
can use a comp. A Terms Of Service link is available on the main Adobe Stock Photos screen.

Buying stock photos
It's simple to buy images through Adobe Stock Photos. When you find the photos you want to buy, put them in your
shopping cart. The photos remain in your cart until you're ready to complete your purchase. When you finish
browsing, you can check out and have your images automatically downloaded to your computer.
Having an account with Adobe speeds the checkout process. Because your contact and billing information is saved,
you can complete your purchase with just a few clicks.
