Content Credentials
Adobe's open-source implementation of the C2PA standard for signed provenance metadata.
Content Credentials is Adobe's consumer-facing brand name for their implementation of the C2PA standard. Photoshop, Lightroom, and Firefly can embed Content Credentials into images, recording who created or edited the file and when. Viewers can scan a QR code or visit contentcredentials.org to verify and display the embedded manifest, confirming that a file hasn't been silently modified since signing.
The Adobe-branded C2PA
While C2PA is the standards body, Content Credentials is the Adobe implementation accessible to millions of creative professionals. When you export from Photoshop with Content Credentials enabled, the software automatically signs the image with your identity and timestamp, creating a verifiable record of creation. If you later edit the file, Lightroom records the transformation and adds it to the chain. Viewers of the file can see the full history.
LLMind relationship
Content Credentials signs origin and edit history; LRFS signs semantic meaning. An image can have both. A photograph might be signed by the photographer via Content Credentials, and then later enriched with LRFS semantic metadata (description, entities, transcription) by an archival system. Both signatures coexist and can be independently verified, providing a complete provenance and semantic picture.
