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...
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.
All digital cameras record a bunch of data fields into the metadata of the pictures they take. Make and model of the camera, date/time, etc.
I believe what your asking for though is custom fields. The tech already exists in the hardware, the manufacturer would just need to provide a way to set them.
Lol. Whenever I send photos and videos, I make sure to delete metadata for privacy reasons. Sometimes it will show location, exact device, owner information, and other stuff I don't want other people to know.
I mean in the image data not the metadata, obviously you can encode data into an image in exif but from the sounds of this article I got the sense it was more about detecting pixel fucking which suggests it can encode more data outside the header
