Human Authorship - What to Check

Review these points before delivery, licensing, publication, or client approval.

Creator checks

  • Save drafts, source files, edits, layers, prompts, references, and before/after versions.
  • Document the human creative decisions behind the final image, not only the tool used.
  • Avoid promising copyright ownership where the human contribution record is weak or unclear.

Client questions

  • What parts of the final image were created or materially shaped by the human creator?
  • Are there records showing edits, selections, source material, and creative control?
  • Is the contract promising copyright transfer, usage permission, or both?
