Photoshop has a menue-entry "file information" for storing metadata information with the image.

It would be very helpful to collect information at Creative Commons how
to use this possibilities in the field of digital images and Creative
Commons Licenses.

This metadata works also with JPEG, TIFF, EPS and PDF Files. So
it is nothing special from Adobe.

Probably the metadata is XMP <http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xmp.html>,
which is from Adobe, but is an open format. I briefly mentioned XMP
before <https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/cc-metadata/2003-May/000113.html>
and do have creating guidelines for CC license info in XMP (which is RDF-
based) and sample code on my TODO list.

I haven't investigated yet, but I've heard that it should be possible to
create a XMP plugin for CC license metadata which would allow users of
XMP-aware Adbobe products to read and write (where applicable) CC
license metadata in supported formats. If anyone would like to take
up this research, please let me know!

There should be several applications on the market incl. search engines, which are able to read and index this metada. At the moment, I don´t know, where to find more informations about such applications / search engines

I'm interested in this too...
