I Can Remove Your Watermark with No Problem…

I Can Remove Your Watermark with No Problem…

scott Kelby recently had an interesting post about watermarks, he talks about watermakrs, how people can remove them (especially with CS5), about using Metadata all the time to protect yourself, discusses Digimarc as another option for invisible watermarks, and Tineye "It’s kinda like Google.. but for images. You upload an image, and it will scour the web and see if it can find websites where they are being used."

"You’d be surprised how many people troll Flickr for images for their next paid project that WANT to give you their money. They want to do it, but you wont let them when you don’t place your contact information inside of the Metadata of the images. Take a moment and create a Metadata template for yourself that has the most basic of information for all of your images: Your Name, Your Website, and Your Email. I never include an address to my images because.. imagine how creepy that would be?!?"
