Is Bridge outdated software? Does it protect my creations and ensure legal compliance?

Hi,

Under the AI Act, creators are required to identify images created or retouched using AI and to specify this information within the file—likely in the XMP data. I work with open-source software but use Adobe to manage my rights. With the AVIF and WebP files I have been trying to publish online, I am unable to specify this information in the IPTC Extension field. I would also like to point out that the XMP data generated by Bridge for more traditional digital creations references obsolete URLs, such as: https://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/digitalsourcetype/softwareImage It would be appreciated if you could update Bridge so that I can work properly and remain legally compliant.

With Content Credentials disabled, Photoshop will still embed various AI flags into the image (as long as you're not trying to intentionally circumvent things or using unsupported file formats that don't support such metadata).

So, the information is generally tagged into the original PSD and also for common derivative file types from Save a Copy, Export As or Export Save for Web.

You might not always be able to see this using Bridge in it's native form. I'd need to look into the Custom Metadata Panel to see what's supported.

There might be ways to script this in Photoshop as well to make this more visible.

ExifTool does a great job of reporting on the many AI clues, however, this isn't for everyone.

Adobe is using the following:
