By applying a Digimarc digital watermark to your images, you have quite a few options for what to display when other people read the embedded watermark. And what’s great is that this data lives on with the image as it travels throughout the internet — even through file format conversions, manipulations, copying and more. The following are options available to you today for information you can include in your unique, persistent digital watermark:

• Applying a copyright period
• Applying an image identification #
• Applying a transaction #
• Notification that the image has restricted use
• Notification to not copy
• Notification that the image is adult content
• Link to your website
• Identification of you as the creator

When digitally watermarking personal photographs with my Digimarc for Images account, I typically apply a copyright year, notification to not copy, and web lookup link option. Which of these options do you use? Are there other options you'd like to see available?
