Anybody with any computer skills can remove the watermark. For identification purposes only, it would work. I have a registration number with Digimark but have never received any feedback from any photos. They also sell a service called the Marc Spider which will search the WWW for any of your digimarked photos but it is extremely expensive. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
