You have to modify the picture a lot before the watermark becomes unreadable (to the point to the photograph itself is something else than the one you published :-) ). The only purpose of Digimark is to let you be able to prove that a picture you saw on the Web is yours. For that, it does a good job. If the webmaster refuses to pay the publication or to withdraw the picture, you'll have to sue it in the conventional manner anyway. And at that time, you will use your original to make a proof. (Sorry, there are nights when my English is even worse than it uses to be). - -- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE) Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com > >...
