Midjourney Synthetic Media (midjourney.com)
Script Signature: midjourney.com/showcase
Midjourney produces hyper-realistic synthetic imagery. Article 50(2) requires machine-readable C2PA metadata watermarks on all synthetic image outputs to prevent deceptive media dissemination. Midjourney produces stunning synthetic imagery, but exporting and hosting these images requires careful metadata management. Web optimization processes often strip EXIF and IPTC tags. Developers must ensure that C2PA manifests remain intact when these images are published online.
