Thanks for your input. iWatermark ...Chuck and Tim,<br /> Thanks for your input. iWatermark is a system that puts a visible watermark over an image. That is something that I can easily do in Photoshop - you just grey out an image or type, apply a layer blending mode, and then save that as an action - then you can batch apply this action to a whole folder of images.<br />I am looking for an invisible watermark that doesn't hinder the viewing of the image but proves that it is my image and that I can search the web for instances of that image. Digimarc does this but at a heavy price. I wish that Digimarc would just charge $49 for the ability to watermark as many images as you want for as long as you want and then maybe charge you for doing web searches. I think they would get alot more people interested.<br />I did find a company that lets you watermark your images - as many as you want for as long as you want for $49 but does not offer any online searches. It is called Icemark and is available here:<br />http://www.watermarker.com/software-for-adding-invisible-watermarks/<br /><br />If anyone knows of any other watermarking tools - please let me know.<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734322865929987142.post-7656674716730945162012-02-13T16:49:49.597-05:002012-02-13T16:49:49.597-05:00Good find, Tim!

If anyone else is having trouble with the link above, iWatermark can be found here as well —along with a handful of reviews.<br />http://download.cnet.com/iWatermark/3000-2192_4-46423.html<br />I haven't tried it myself.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885271094483228148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734322865929987142.post-82043916384168476702012-02-13T16:03:40.637-05:002012-02-13T16:03:40.637-05:00Here's a free download called iWatermark.

And for the most part they aren't great cause you can't very well customize the size and position on each piece easily.Schollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310797096966495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734322865929987142.post-64035307738437576032012-02-13T13:07:33.790-05:002012-02-13T13:07:33.790-05:00I wouldn't pay it.
Unless I'm missing some...I wouldn't pay it.<br />Unless I'm missing something, it seems you could do that pretty easily with layers and the opacity control. Or simply make your online samples small enough, so that they are good for comping and online viewing and not much else.<br /><br />I'm also scratching my head over the small business tier that charges you 10x the basic fee and allows you 5x the number of uses. <br />I guess it's not just the NY Times that takes us all for patsies.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885271094483228148noreply@blogger.com
