According to Wikipedia:
The goal of the C2PA is to define and establish an open, royalty-free industry standard that allows reliable statements about the provenance of digital content, such as its technical origin, its editing history or the identity of the publisher.
Has anyone explored this standard before? I’m curious about privacy implications, whether it’s a truly open standard, whether this will become mandatory (by law or because browsers refuse to display untagged images), and if they plan on preventing people from reverse engineering their camera to learn how to tag AI-generated photos as if they were real.
That’s a good bet! That means I’ll have zero interest in it and will not use it.
I got fed up with MS bullshit and moved to Linux. Replaced illustrator with Inkscape and Photoshop with Photopea until I can learn how to use GIMP’s unintuitive UI.
There is a learning curve with GIMP. Once you get past it, GIMP is great. It does about 90-95% of what Photoshop will do and that’s good enough for me. I’m fully on Linux as well. I run Arch and swear by it. I also like Open and Free BSD.
I’m an amateur macro photographer and I love taking photos and doing light tweeking to them to make them more presentable for your average person but I am definitely not going to spend the required hours upon hours to learn to do the simplest things in gimp and dark table that i can learn PS and LR in a 10 min video or less.
That being said I also refuse to pay a god dam subscription fee for something I used to own outright 20 years ago especially considering it can’t even stack or slab photos even 10% as good as zerene or helicon.
