Whats in a watermark?
Digimarc watermarks can contain the following: Digimarc ID, Distributor ID, copyright year, image/transaction ID number, and a set of image attributes. Image attributes include Restricted Use, Adult Content and Do Not Copy. The technology embeds a Digimarc ID into your image which links to the web destination of your choice or a contact profile in Digimarc’s on-line database registry. We only embed a small amount of data for two reasons. First, using only an ID number keeps the embedded message very small so it can be repeated many times throughout the image, making it more robust. Second, you can change the destination or contact information linked to your ID without re-watermarking your images. That ensures your watermarked images will always be current, giving you the flexibility to change marketing programs, web destinations, or even your company name without having to re-process your images.
