Verifying Content Credentials

  • Background: With the explosion of generative fill and AI, I need some guidance from the community on what could be current limitations regarding verifying the Content Credentials of other people's images (created by using Adobe’s products or other companies' products).

 

Questions &Limitations :

  • Where can you verify:
    Is Verify (https://contentcredentials.org/verify) the primary location where you can verify content credentials? Or are there other locations?
  • Downloading Required:
    It seems that you must download the file you want to verify and then drag and drop or upload that to verify.
    For most social networking sites, it looks like downloading will strip away the credentials.  As a result, how can you verify images on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc?

 

Thank you for your assistance.

@KostFan2 its nearly impossible to strip away these credentials - even copying/pasting to a new document brings them with.

Have you tried Photoshop’s Content Credentials Panel (Windows > Content Credentials (Beta))? 

 

Are you sure it’s the downloading that strips the data and that it has not been stripped prior to uploading?

c.pfaffenbichler:
This is the workflow I used:

  • Creation: Yes, I used the Content Credentials panel and “Enabled” Content Credentials and then ran Generative fill on the image.
  • Verify: I uploaded the final product to Verify and all of the information showed correctly.
  • Social Media: I then uploaded the image to test accounts I created on both Facebook and X/Twitter
  • Download: I then accessed my main Facebook and X/Twitter accounts and downloaded the image from both test accounts.
  • Verify: I uploaded the two downloaded images to Verify and all of the Content Credentials information had been removed and was replaced by the image and a message directly underneath that said:
    “Twitter Content Credentials”                                “Facebook Content Credentials”
    “No Content Credentials”                                        “No Content Credentials”.
