Hi.
I have a doubt.
Since the very first time I use to include "editorial use only" and "illustrative editorial" in all my editorial files on SS. I really can't remember why, maybe read about it when I registered... maybe some guidelines changed, don't know...
But I have realized that there are two types of pictures in this category.
My question is: Do you use these keywords in documentary editorial ones? Or just "editorial use only"? or none or another one?
Do you think it's a problem to have keyworded all of them as "illustrative editorial"?
Thank you for your answers.

I think you don't need to add "editorial only" or similar keywords anymore. I'm not and no problems...

You definitely do not need to add the words "editorial use only"
You only need to use "illustrative editorial" if the image has a product or brand name in it.
Instead of guessing why not read up the guidelines on Shutterstock
