P: (Early Access) Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) for (CR & LrClassic)

I did a test to see whether Lightroom would flag AI processing (generative remove in this test) for various types of export and including a round-trip through Photoshop. 

What I found:

Seems like Adobe should find a way to carry the AI edits metadata through in all cases. 

This whole process is a scam to market the credential authority. I mean it basically is an advert for Photoshop or Adobe and then you ahve to gon use a third party like link In to authenticate or at least get your name associated to YOUR image.  The fact you have to use linkedin tells you it’s a commercial product that cares about implementing itself as the author since that's its default. 

That and that fact it loves throwing made with AI when no AI was used and it can’t even say what part was AI.  But this is a different topic.  just funny how easy it is to show Adobe Firefly made it and so difficult to show that you made it.  

I'm having serious issues with Content Credentials in Lightroom Classic right now. When I uploaded one of my photos to the Content Credentials authenticity verification site, my edits show up but my name and social media profiles don't show up at all, and the issuance badge is displayed as “Legacy Trust,” even though I just updated my Lightroom app. I cannot for the life of me understand why it isn’t showing up as “Conformant”?

The Adobe Connected Identities page is telling me that I have to go through LinkedIn’s identity verification program to attach my name to my own files (which I am the legal copyright owner of, by the way). I don't want to be forced to provide my government ID to third parties that I don’t trust with my PII in order to have a transparent workflow and build trust with my audience. Is there any way around this?

Kan het watermerk niet aanvinken!

I am having serious issues exporting images. I am repeatedly getting the content credentials failure message even though I have it turned off. How can I work like this? Please advise

100% failure today in exporting 75 files. Then, all of a sudden, it’s exporting 50, then only 3 more exports to get them all. The next attempt took 6 exports to get 80 files with the last 7 taking 4 of the exports…

(LrC on Mac)

My LRC is a mess - often an export won’t work because Credentials is turned on in the preset - what a pain and for this we have to pay a subscription. AND now the link between LRC and Pshop is unstable - sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t - getting pretty fed up with Adobe.

If I get the “couldn’t apply credentials” message, I try a few more time to export and then it works. ..as if Adobe is turning on and off access to one of it’s servers

​@laura_1363  I have the option to include content credentials turned OFF and I’m still constantly getting the “couldn’t apply content credentials” error during export

LR 15.5.1 automatically enables Content Credentials regardless of the user’s setting in Export, as part of an Adobe-wide initiative to align with laws and policies in some US states and the EU:

Unfortunately, Content Credentials is buggy, as you and many others have discovered:

https://community.adobe.com/bug-reports-674/p-content-credentials-causes-exports-to-skip-1639100/index2.html?sort=oldestFirst#comments

A workaround is to roll back to LR 15.5 and disable Content Credentials in the Export settings. Adobe hasn’t announced what changes were introduced in LR 15.5.1 (no user-reported bugs were fixed), and it may be that 15.5.1 was released solely to comply with this Adobe-wide policy.

I have the option to include content credentials turned OFF and I’m still constantly getting the “couldn’t apply content credentials” error during export, which means that the files are not exported at all. Since last week, I now have to restart lightroom and toggle with the settings to get anything to export. Again, I’m being inhibited from exporting anything due to a bug in a setting that I supposedly have disabled!! 

Garbage feature. I did not ask for this. I’m even considering working on my laptop with an older version of Lightroom Classic installed just to avoid this bs until they fix it in the next update or so. Add this one to all the other recent ‘features’ in Lightroom that pander increasingly to influencers, content creators, and casual users who will follow anything that has an AI buzzword attached to it rather than those seeking to actually advance their photographic capabilities or hone a professional workflow. Continually disappointing.

I’m constantly getting the error “couldn’t apply content credentials” an fail the export of some o the selected photos that I chose to export.

. It is killing my work flow .
