FAQ
Where can I learn more about Adobe Stock?
To learn more about Stock, peruse the Adobe Stock tutorials from the Creative Cloud website.
I've found a photo I want to use, how do I download it?
Select the photo, click the License button to download and save the digital asset to your library.
Am I going to have to pay for the content I download?
No. If you are logged in as a UIW user and you see a 'License' button next to an image, it means there is no fee associated with it. However, if you are asked to pay a fee, it's possible that the item you're trying to access is not available as part of UIW's Adobe license. In such cases, you can contact the UIW Help Desk with specific inquiries to get more information.
Can I download stock videos?
No. Unfortunately, UIW's educational license does not include access to stock videos. I apologize for the inconvenience.
