Seamlessly embedding authorship protection into everyday, mobile-first creative workflows with ibisPaint.

TOKYO, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wacom today announced that Wacom Yuify, its digital service for protecting and verifying authorship of digital artwork, is rolling out to ibisPaint, including ibisPaint, ibisPaint X, and ibisPaint Edu, starting July 28, 2026. By updating to the latest version of ibisPaint, creators can use Wacom Yuify to retain authorship information as part of their digital art creation process. With Wacom Yuify rolling out to ibisPaint, the service expands beyond desktop-only support to Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android.

Wacom Yuify is a digital service that embeds authorship and ownership data directly into artwork using invisible micromarking technology. This data creates a persistent and verifiable record that helps creators prove authorship, communicate ownership clearly, and build trust around their digital work. When used with ibisPaint, Wacom Yuify supports the PNG format. The embedded information can be verified using Yuifinder, a free, browser-based verification tool.

Until now, Wacom Yuify has only been available through desktop creative tools such as Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop, and Rebelle, supporting workflows on Windows and macOS. With the addition of ibisPaint, Wacom Yuify is becoming accessible within creative environments that reflect how many creators draw, sketch, and share their work today.

ibisPaint is a widely used illustration and drawing app with over 500 million downloads worldwide, used by a broad global community of creators who sketch, illustrate, and publish their work across mobile and desktop environments. By integrating Wacom Yuify into ibisPaint, authorship information can be embedded naturally as part of everyday creative workflows.

“As creative activity increasingly takes place on mobile devices and social platforms, it’s important that creators have simple ways to assert authorship wherever they create,” said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President, Creative Experience Unit at Wacom. “By bringing Wacom Yuify to ibisPaint, we are expanding our focus beyond desktop tools and making authorship protection more accessible within the creative workflows people use every day.”

“We welcome the enhancement of an environment where digital creators can confidently share their work and demonstrate the authenticity of their creations through ibisPaint’s support for Wacom Yuify,” said Yuka Inoue, Section Manager at Ibis inc. “By combining Wacom Yuify’s invisible digital ID with ibisPaint’s diverse creative tools, we expect to offer a broader creative experience that supports creators in managing and presenting their artwork throughout their creative journey.”

As creative expression continues to expand across digital communities, questions of authorship and trust remain essential—not only for professionals, but also for individuals who share their work online as part of everyday creative practice. Designed to support creators at every level, Wacom Yuify provides a reliable way to assert authorship within the tools they already use. Through Wacom Yuify, Wacom seeks to support creators beyond the moment of creation—standing alongside them as their work is shared, discovered, and carried forward over time.

Availability

Wacom Yuify support for ibisPaint, ibisPaint X, and ibisPaint Edu will begin rolling out on July 28, 2026.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
