metadata

Apple has revealed that it will label AI-generated images made with its new Image Playground tool.

FileShadow, the Utah based company known for its photography software as a service (SaaS) that allows users to store and organize photos and files from multiple devices, including desktop, mobile, and cloud, has announced enhanced person detection and custom object identification.

Google's "About This Image" tool, announced last May during Google I/O, combs an image's metadata to find context and identify if it's an AI fake or not. The tool is now rolling out as part of Google's updated search tools.

PhotoOrganista is an app designed to help photographers manage large photo portfolios. Developed by Bristol Bay Code Factory, PhotoOrganista works with over 650 image formats, including RAW images from most major cameras.

It is easy to see the camera settings for any picture taken on a digital camera or smartphone -- not so when taking photos on a film camera.

A photographer who sued a hospitality tech company for removing copyright metadata from his photos before posting them on travel websites, has been denied an appeal to a lower court's dismissal of his case.

In the digital age, there’s a lot more to a photograph than the image itself. When most digital cameras capture an image, they record certain parameters and write them in the image’s file for later use. These parameters are called metadata and are stored as Exchangeable Image File data, or EXIF for short.

If you’re anything like me and have hundreds of thousands of files taking up terabytes of space on multiple RAID arrays and cloud services, finding specific photographs or figuring out where I might have duplicates can be an absolute headache.

TTArtisan's latest M-mount to E-mount adapter has a focal length dial that transmits focal length info to the camera for lenses with no electronic contacts.

The Texas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Meta for its use of facial recognition, alleging Facebook collected the biometric data of millions of Texans without consent. The state is reportedly seeking damages that could exceed $500 billion.

Facebook has announced that it is shuttering its Face Recognition system as part of what it is billing as a company-wide move to limit the use of facial recognition in its products.

The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) has released a new version of its Photo Metadata standard that includes two new properties aimed at making photos more accessible to those with disabilities, such as the blind.

The World Press Photo organization just published the winners of its 2021 competition and in its annual tradition, Spanish website Photolari has followed with its breakdown of brands, systems, and cameras that were used. So, has much changed since last year?

A photo archive that documents the 78 days between the U.S. election and inauguration is the first to be verified by the standards set by Adobe's Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), illustrating how newsrooms can address the problem of false or misleading information.

Last June, PetaPixel shared PhotoStatistica, an app that takes the EXIF data from your photos and displays them as graphs. In short, it gave you a visual representation of how you shoot. The app has seen a version 2.0 update that significantly improves its features.

Somewhere in the mountain of announcements that Adobe dropped this morning—including major updates for both Photoshop and Lightroom—the company found time to unveil a prototype of its much-anticipated "Content Attribution" tool: a system that cryptographically embeds editing and attribution info into photos so that everyone can see when a photo has been edited, how it's been edited, and who the image belongs to.

Almost 9 months after announcing the so-called Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) for preventing image theft and manipulation online, Adobe has finally released details on how this special authentication system will work when they begin rolling it out later this year.

PhotoStatistica is a new Mac app that examines EXIF data from large sets of photos and turns it into interesting statistics and visualizations that reveal how you go about shooting photos.

A few months ago I found out about the upcoming Google Licensable badge. Provided you embed the required metadata in your image files, it’s a label that will be added to your photos in Google Images, with links to a page that includes your Web statement of rights and a link to license the photo.

At Adobe MAX 2019, Chief Product Officer Scott Belsky announced the Content Authenticity Initiative – a nascent and ambiguously defined way for attribution to travel with an image and allow consumers to know, in the words of Adobe VP Dana Rao, that “the content they’re seeing is authentic.”

If you'd ever like a quick way to share a particular photo along with the Exif metadata showing the equipment and camera settings it was shot with, ExifShot is a new desktop web app for you.

Cameras record a ton of information about the exposure settings of your camera, and these have been standardized into EXIF metadata fields. What few people realize is that metadata is not limited to these standard fields, and your camera is recording far more information than you ever thought possible.

World Press Photo yesterday announced the winners of its 2016 contest, honoring the best news photos captured in 2015. Above is a breakdown of the cameras that were used by the photographers who were honored by photojournalism's biggest prize.

Shooting two or more cameras generally means you need to ensure the cameras are all synchronized to the same clock time. Unfortunately, my Canon 5D Mark III drifts horrendously when it comes to keeping good time -- perhaps even 20 seconds in a week. I found myself continuously having to set each of my cameras before each wedding shoot to ensure images are timestamped in the right order.

After giving it a think, I came up with this handy way to sync my two DSLR cameras using Lightroom and a "Timestamp" trick.
