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!

When I'm exporting a photo, along with the LinkedIn/Instagram/etc options, the dialog has a section labeled "Web3" that allows the image to “be used for NFT creative attribution on supported marketplaces” where the supported marketplaces are Phantom and MetaMask."

 

It's 2025. That is over.

Hi Rikk
I had it set up and working for the previous versions of Lightroom and with the latest version it suddenly does not work anymore and in a way that it is very disruptive to my workflow: it exports the file and before my eyes it deletes it again 😱 The Connected accounts fail, while I have Behance connected and whatever I do I don't get it working. Failed to fetch connected accounts and when I click manage I am connected and in the web pages. When I chose Attach to files, it goes wrong also. It simply doesn't work.

I disabled it.

Couldn't export a batch 3 different times and then I realized this option had been turned on automatically. The "attach to files" option was selected when it kept failing. I was so confused at first! Would be great if it works, I think this could be an asset to photographers.

I consistently receive an error message when trying to export a PSD file that the credentials can't be saved. Then the export will not work at all.

It would be very useful to have a flag (or something similar) allowing the author to certify that the image was created without AI.

Some of the tools in Camera RAW optionally employ AI. They are very handy in editing RAW photos that were digitally generated (in camera). Those tools eliminate rather than generate.
On the other hand, if your suggestion is to flag images that are AI-generated and executed, that is a different ball of wax, and I could support that.

Those tools eliminate rather than generate.

If you're eliminating and not leaving blank spots in the image, you're generating too.


I think the only instance of AI in Lightroom that's not "generating" anything are the selection tools. But that could be debated as well.

It would be very useful if there was the possibility to connect with the italian digital identity SPID.

I think we need more options in what is embedded. I'd like the option to simply state that no generative AI was used and there was one source image (no thumbnail for the said ingredient).
