Would have loved to see more information in the article about how it actually works.

The simple fact that software is fundamentally easier to upgrade/adapt compared to hardware makes this race to control profit/tech a pitiful dream of the greedy fossils at the helm of it. Besides, it would be even more naive to think they're not already pushing their own R&D to capitalize on the AI tools available...

It's just digitally signing the metadata, so that you know a picture was taken with an actual camera.

Which is super useful because I regularly verify the sources of the hashes in my metadata and most artists will make a habit of that too!

If it's just a hash, you'll trick people 99% of the time with a random hash, who's gonna check?

Sorry I meant more along the lines of…most photographers shoot in raw and then edit and convert later. How does that work with this new signing process? The second you touch your photos it’s marked as edited.
