This thread is for Camera Raw & Lightroom Classic feedback on the (Early Access) Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)
For the Lightroom Ecosystem feedback, click here

The Lightroom team is dedicated to building capabilities that foster trust and transparency in the age of AI. Our latest release, as part of the Content Authenticity Initiative (https://contentauthenticity.org/), allows you to add content credentials to your work when exporting in Lightroom to ensure provenance and preserve authenticity.

 

New content credential capabilities are available across the Lightroom ecosystem (Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web), and Adobe Camera Raw in Early Access. When exporting a JPEG from Lightroom, you can attach your name, social media handle, and a list of edits via a digital signature.

 

You can find the option to apply Content Credentials while exporting a JPEG in the export panel. It is, by default, turned OFF. You can choose to enable this option at the time of each export or enable it in App preferences for every export. Learn more.

 

If you choose to attach credentials, the information you submit will be tied to your image and can be verified by uploading the photo to contentcredentials.org/verify. Try out the early access version of Content Credentials and share your feedback with us.

 

Please include the following details in your post:

  • App version/platform
  • System details
  • Example image(s) if you wish to share

 

Thanks!

@Rikk Flohr_Photography 

could you or Komal Desai take a look at this? Thank you for the work on Content Credentials in Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw.

I'd like to raise a related gap: Content Credentials currently reach images exported directly from Lightroom, but not images published through external Publish Service plugins, such as WP/LR Sync, which connects Lightroom Classic to WordPress. The plugin developer confirmed this isn't a limitation on their end — Content Credentials simply aren't yet exposed to the Publish Service SDK.

I filed this as a feature request six months ago (linked below) without a response. Given Adobe's leading role in the Content Authenticity Initiative, it would make sense for Content Credentials to reach images published this way too, not only regular exports.

Feature request: community.adobe.com/feature-requests-676/p-content-credentials-support-for-external-publish-services-e-g-wp-lr-sync-1546802

Would appreciate it if someone on the Lightroom team could weigh in on whether this is on the roadmap.

It would be great if you could display personal websites in your verified accounts instead of just other big tech sites.

I tried to use this with the Attach to File option. It gave me an error each time, and didn’t export any of the files. I have unclicked the option and hit Refresh and it is continuing to give me the same error (Couldn’t Apply Content Credentials)...even though the option is no longer selected. I am not able to export any photos now.

Whatever this new feature is supposed to do -- it blocks saving final edited images to files and thus is stopping me from getting my work done. GET RID OF THIS BUGGY FEATURE!!!!

@scottc60012165 I’ve attached a sample image and the associated manifest with that file. 

Unfortunately, the forum converts JPEG attachments to Webp format.  See here for how to attach your sample JPEG to your reply:
