EDIT: I think I found what I needed but any input is welcome. I will leave this in case it helps others... here is the link I found to help.

I would just handle it similar to their Book/Offline example:

<div class="entirefigure">
<div class="figureimage"><img alt="Figure 1: Sample Title" src="..\Images\Figure1.png"/></div>

<p class="figuretitle">Figure 1: Sample Title</p>

<p class="caption"><i>Sample Photo</i> by Sample Person.<br /><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">CC-BY-SA 4.0</a>.</p>
</div>

Sample CSS:

div.entirefigure {
	margin-top: 1em;
	margin-bottom: 1em;
	page-break-inside: avoid;
}

div.figureimage {
	text-align: center;
	margin-left: 0;
	margin-right: 0;
}

p.figuretitle {
	font-weight: bold;
	text-align: center;
	margin-left: 0;
	margin-right: 0;
}

p.caption {
	font-size: .75em;
	text-align: right;
	margin-left: 0;
	margin-right: 0;
}

There is no need to include the little CC logo if you don't want to. As Turtle91 pointed out, "You may do so in any reasonable manner". If it becomes too burdensome, you can just include the info using an alternate method (for example, including the link to the CC page).

And I am no fan of merging captions into the images themselves (that is just going to cause you headaches in the future + isn't Searchable/Text-to-Speech friendly + doesn't follow user settings [font size, font color, font, [...]]).

Also, as JSWolf mentioned, links surrounding images don't work too well in ADE. It would probably be better to just have a text link somewhere.

Depends on the version. For example, in 4.0 there is no "Title of work required":

https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wik...cific_elements

And IF it becomes too burdensome to shove all that info into a little tiny caption, I would follow what Toxaris recommended... just have a page/section at the very end that goes into more detail:

Figure 1 is <i>Sample Photo</i> ©2017 by Sample Person. Released under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">CC-BY-SA 4.0</a>. Original source: <a href="www.sampleimagesite.com/123.png">www.sampleimagesite.com/123.png</a>.

OR you could do something like include this info in a footnote.

Don't want to get bogged down in the specifics, but CC0 is not the Public Domain... Copyright is very sticky, meaning it is automatically applied + impossible to get rid of under the current laws. Even under CC0, depending on the jurisdiction, there may be a whole host of other "neighboring rights" still applied:

https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wik...ring_rights.3F

For example, in the EU, creators may still have Moral Rights (no such thing as Moral Rights in the US). And you know these copyright maximalists... they are constantly creating new laws to pull previously Public Domain material under copyright.

From all of my years of being interested in the topic, CC-BY is probably your best bet to something that is actually enforceable in court internationally, while still being as close to the Public Domain as currently possible.

Side Note: As an example of new laws trying to pull from the Public Domain, a few years ago in Argentina:

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20...ikipedia.shtml

[...] a proposed law would extend the copyright in photos from 25 years after an image was taken (or 20 years from first publication) to life plus 70 years -- a vast extension that would mean that most photos taken in the 20th century would still be in copyright.

No. I would say it would be more accurate to include no information than false information.

Attribution is always a great idea, and any reasonable person should try to give thanks/credit where credit is due.
