About Adobe Stock Photos
Adobe Stock Photos lets you view, try, and buy royalty-free images from leading stock libraries. With Adobe Stock
Photos, you won't have to interrupt your design process to find quality images. Instead, from inside your favorite
applications, you can use the powerful search capabilities of Adobe Stock Photos to find and download images.
From Bridge, the Favorites pane gives you quick access to these stock images. With your computer connected to the
Internet, simply click the Adobe Stock Photos icon to start browsing thousands of available images. Because of the
tight integration between Stock Photos and Adobe applications, you can download images from Adobe Stock Photos
directly into many Adobe applications.
In the design process, you need the flexibility to try different images before deciding which one you want. Adobe
Stock Photos gives you the option to download low-resolution, complimentary (comp) versions of images you're
considering. You can work with the comps until you make your final decision, at which point you can purchase and
download a high-resolution image.
For maximum convenience, you can open an account with Adobe. The benefit of opening an account is that you
enter your personal information only once, greatly simplifying the checkout process. You can also look back at
previous purchases, and even download photos again after you purchase them.

Searching for images in Adobe Stock Photos
There are a few ways to search for images in Stock Photos. If you need help getting a project started, a broad search
may yield a fund of possibilities and suggest areas to explore. If you have a clear idea of what you need, then you can
use Advanced Search to narrow the field.
Related keywords also help you find photos. After you find photos, you can start a new search by selecting one or
more related keywords. Each image is associated with keywords that help you find similar images. The more
keywords you select, the narrower the search results.
Photos matching the search criteria appear as thumbnails in the main Bridge window. You can resize the thumbnail
by dragging the Thumbnail slider at the bottom of the screen. When you click an image in search results, a low-
resolution comp image appears in the Preview pane (it may take several seconds for the image to appear in the pane).
To enlarge the comp, simply resize the Preview pane. You can view metadata information about the image in the
Metadata pane under Adobe Stock Photos Metadata.
Your previous searches are automatically saved in Previous Photos in the Favorites pane. Click Previous Searches to
display the list. To see the search results, double-click a search. To delete a search, select it and press the Delete key
(Windows), right-click the search and then choose Send To Recycle Bin (Windows), or Control-click the search and
choose Move To Trash (Mac OS).
