## FAQ
- Can I use artist names or brand names in Adobe Stock AI prompts? No. For commercial AI stock submissions, keep artist names, real people, fictional characters, government agencies, third-party IP, brand names, and real-news implications out of prompts, titles, and keywords.
- Do Adobe Stock AI image prompts need camera settings? They can help, but they are not the core. Buyer use, clear subject, setting, composition, copy space, exclusions, and metadata fit matter more for stock usefulness.
- Should I include no text and no logo? Yes. Random text, logos, watermarks, brand marks, and readable private information can reduce commercial usefulness and increase review risk. Exclusions do not guarantee a clean result, but they reduce obvious failures.
- Can I generate many images from the same prompt? Test in small batches, but do not build a whole series from tiny changes to one prompt. Each image should differ by buyer use, subject relationship, composition, setting, or keyword direction.
- Should prompts or keywords come first? Draft them together. Write a temporary title and first 10 keywords, then use them to constrain the prompt. This makes the output easier to review, title, keyword, and upload.
