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!

In the dialog description it says "seperate". "separate" would be more accurate.

I would like to see an option during export that only states whether AI has been used or not, instead of showing "edits" along that info. If building trust around AI usage is the goal, then I believe showing "edits" other than AI usage is not necessary, unless I would choose so.

This "Content Credentials" was a waste of development time & skill.... It would have been a better use of developpers time to team up & improve functionality of other "upgrades".

I'm just looking into this and I have questions:

1) If I attach to cloud and then post my jpg to a social media site, how does an individual looking at that check the image to see if it is really mine or what edits I made. I have had people challenge me that my image was AI and I can't see any simple way to verify that to them. Seems this would help if the user could check/verify.

 

2) If I decide I don't want to use this feature any longer, is there a way I can remove the information that I have already allowed up to the cloud?

 

3) Is there any sort of "certificate" that I can generate from this to give to individuals who purchase a print from me? I like to leave them with something that they can use to verify that it is indeed my image, or at least I registered it somewhere and didn't just steal it and resell it.

4)  I would like to be able to attach more than just X, Instagram, LinkedIn to photos.

5) I don't see any option in LrC to prevent AI scraping or the "I own this . . . " checkbox.

6) Will this evolve into a subscription or pay app? Meaning will it be free forever to upload as many content credetials as I want?

7) A possible problem in the chain of editing is that I often use 3rd party apps to Denoise. These generate a tiff image that when exported with credentials doesn't really tell anybody very much except my person contact information and linked media sites. Not sure much can be done about that, but it also means that almost any AI image can be exported as a tiff and then have credentials uploaded and there does not seem to be any way that can be detected or tracked.

😎 If I change location/address/email/phone, is there any way to update that on previous image data uploaded.

9) Is there a way to log into my account and see what I have there and modify/edit it?

 

Hope thats not too much to ask at once, but thats my immediate feedback.

 

Thanks,

Hello,
It's a great idea. But it is so long to export files.
Usually when I export 100photos 4K to jpg fullHD it just takes only a few seconds.
Now with content credential and only productor and account (not modifications) it takes maybe 10min. Crazy too long.
And it crashes usually on some files. I think it's because of undersized servers. Maybe.
So sadly I stopped using this option.

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.
