I added metadata to my PNG files via Bridge, then applied CR via the CR website — all metadata was stripped. Re-entering metadata then invalidated the CR. Is there a reliable workflow where metadata and Content Credentials can coexist?
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a series of 26 PNG illustrations and need both metadata and Content Credentials applied to each file. I've run into multiple issues where Adobe's own tools conflict with each other:
-
CR website strips metadata — I added metadata via Bridge, then applied CR via the CR website (Beta). All my XMP metadata was removed.
-
Re-entering metadata invalidates CR — Editing the file after applying CR breaks the C2PA hash, making CR invalid.
-
Photoshop doesn't recognise CR from the CR website — Opening a CR website-signed file in Photoshop still shows "Enable Content Credentials" as if no CR exists.
-
CR via Photoshop sometimes fails verification — Files signed in Photoshop occasionally show as invalid on verify.contentauthenticity.org.
-
CR website only shows "Issued by Adobe Inc." — No personal identity is attached, which defeats the purpose of proving authorship.
Is there a reliable workflow for applying both metadata and CR without them breaking each other? CR has been in Beta for years — when will these tools actually work together?
