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!

I'm working with another artists catalog, I manage several of them, and the only "Producer" option I am given is for me, I guess because I'm it's my licence I'm using. I would like to have the option to have this information match the metadata for the files not just the owner of the licence.

Great little feature.
But the detail that shows up is "Content Creator - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic (Macintosh), instead of my actual name. I've customized everithing, even linked insta and linked in and nothing shows up.

Again, great little feature that needs improvement.

The new generative remove feature is nearly perfect, and such a welcomed update! However, adding credentials other than the METADATA that's already include in each file we export feels like giving permission to ADOBE to use our images (in any future capacity), under the guise of sharing our social media profiles. That is simply not enough to agree to these terms. I personally don't need ADOBE to help me promote my photography business. I'm also confident that I don't need ADOBE to promote my social media presence. While I continue to use ADOBE products to edit my photos, I too am starting to feel the overreach with each new feature necessitating a sign off.

Great initiative, thanks!

I would like to also have the option to add my blog URL besides the social networks.

This is a little nit and not a functional matter but there is a misspelled word in the Lightroom Classic descripiton for Content Credentials within the Export dialogue box. You use the word "seperate" in the description but the correct spelling is "separate".

The first thing I have noticed is "Producer" has my actual name, not my business name. Would it be possible to maybe link this field to the Lightroom name-plate as opposed to the Abobe account name? (I registered before starting the business :)). Thanks, Rob.

I'm unable to export JPGs with Content Credentials from Camera Raw and I'm not sure why. I'm also not able to do it through Bridge's export dialog - the dropdown option doesn't even appear there.

 

I'm on Windows 11 23H2 and the latest versions of Bridge and CR. In Bridge, the option to enable viewing Content Credentials in the preferences is enabled. The file I'm trying to export is a single CR2 I took a few weeks ago with a Canon 77D.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

The CAI feature seems to be more applicable to teamwork and sharing than to solo photographers and their aesthetic needs.
