Limitations and practical advice
eWiki's practical advice: distinguish Adobe models from partner models when reading documentation and terms. Inspect text, geometry, and details that must stay accurate. Keep the source image when editing existing content. A subscription or provider's product claim does not itself verify the suitability of an output.
