Known Image Restrictions

The list below displays problem words that we need to pay extra attention to. In most cases, we are not allowed to use these words within the image metadata. Often, we can use an image as Editorial only, but not as a standard license image.

	Standard License	Editorial License
Tip:	Generally: Items on this list should be declined if they are isolated or artwork. If they are or the main subject of the image, they CAN be marked as Editorial Use if they are newsworthy.	Generally Editorial shots must be considered "newsworthy" and have a caption that tells the event details: people pictured, name of the event, date and location. Typically editorial shots are newsworthy, such as celebrities at an event, an auto show, or a special event. However, even something mundane such as a person using a Blackberry can be newsworthy if it becomes a news topic, or an Adidas store could be OK, and used if Adidas company was in the news.
