You can also add the camera model, manufacturer, and information about the image taken. While this information cannot be changed later, it can be checked at any time using open source tools provided free of charge by CAI, so it can be used as proof of the authenticity of the image. In addition to knowing whether an image is the original taken or edited, you can also check the history of what kind of editing has been done. In this way, photographers can demonstrate the authenticity of their photos throughout the entire process, from capture to publication.
