Photographers cannot prove the authenticity of their images because even simple edits like cropping trigger false positives in AI detection tools.
Current AI-detection tools cannot distinguish between malicious AI-generated content and legitimate edits like cropping or color correction, making them unreliable for professional photographers.

App Concept
TrueLens Pro
A software tool that cryptographically signs the original camera sensor data and logs all non-altering edits (metadata-only), allowing photographers to prove authenticity while preserving creative flexibility. It uses a tamper-evident audit trail that distinguishes between allowed adjustments and AI generation.
Key Features
- Cryptographic signing of raw sensor data at capture time
- Edit log that categorizes operations as 'provenance-safe' (crop, exposure) vs 'generative' (AI insertions)
- Verification app for clients to check authenticity without false positives
- Integration with major cameras and editing software (Lightroom, Capture One)
Target Users: Professional photographers in journalism, real estate, and commercial photography who need to guarantee image authenticity for clients and publishers.
Revenue Model: $39/mo per photographer subscription with a free verification app for clients
