I have a requirement that I'm wondering if one of the JCE plugins/addons could fulfill, or if someone else has had experience implementing something like this with JCE and a third-party product.

One of my Joomla clients loves the JCE editor, and uses the Image Manager Extended and Media Manager to upload and manage photos and videos. However, they've been running into image licensing issues, where editors either upload unlicensed image files or don't save the correct licensing info for when an issue comes up.

Is there somewhere in the various JCE plugins where a user can input meta information about the licensing for a particular file? And is it possible to force the user to enter some licensing information before they are allowed to place the file into a Joomla article?

I would be grateful for any pointers regarding the JCE plugins, or any open-source DAM solutions that might integrate well with the JCE file managing plugins.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. No, I wasn't specifically talking about the EXIF data for photos we own. I'm looking for something much more free-form, back-office type data about the photo's origins -- like "this image was purchased on XX date from Shutterstock by Volunteer Smith order number ###", or "this image downloaded from Pixabay by Volunteer Jones on XX date with link". It's not about showing a caption or a copyright watermark; it's about being able to produce the information about the photo if any question of usage rights comes up. This is for a small organization and it would be great to incorporate this into the existing Joomla application, instead of needing to manage it through an external spreadsheet, database, or DAM solution.
