Embedded Watermarks Simply Do The Trick
Watermarking, or in layman’s terms, the process of layering a graphic or text over your photo, is one valuable, easy and inexpensive way to quickly tell people that you own the rights to an individual photo on your website or when . If you have ever tried to download a picture from someone else’s website and found that you could not separate the top layer of extra words or graphic from the bottom picture then you know first-hand how watermarking works.
There are other ways to protect a photo from even being downloaded in the first place. You can technically block downloads altogether, but that is more extreme and the average person may not be as technologically savvy or patient to accomplish this task. You can also divide your picture so when someone tries to download it, only a portion of the picture is copied. The rest is not downloadable at all.
The watermark is a simple way to protect your photo and is meant to remain with the picture wherever it goes, to show everyone where it originally came from. It will not allow itself to be removed from the picture and if there ever is an attempt to have it separated, it goes into proverbial shutdown mode.
Do not be fooled into believing that a picture you download from the internet is not watermark protected, simply because you cannot see the watermark. It may have an invisible watermark on it that was meant to be hidden from the viewer for any number of reasons. Transparent watermarks are still watermarks. They are just as embedded in the photo as those the viewer can see.
Watermarking a photo produces a trail back to the originator. This trail can be used in a court of law to defend the owner’s rights to the photo. WinWatermark software has numerous options for watermarking your internet photo(s).
