Photographer needs a way to publicly timestamp and prove ownership of their photos before sharing them online to prevent copyright theft.

Workarounds Described

• Manually watermarking images using Photoshop (but lacks skills)
• Posting directly to social media without formal proof of authorship

Implied Software Gaps

• A tool that automatically watermarks images without Photoshop skills
• A public registry that timestamps and verifies photo ownership

PhotoProof Registry

PhotoProof Registry lets photographers upload images to create a tamper-proof public record with timestamps and ownership metadata. It provides a simple dashboard to generate certificates and shareable links that can be included with portfolio posts, establishing verifiable proof of original authorship without needing Photoshop skills.
