There is a very easy way to verify that your digital watermarks have remained with your images after you post them to the web.  Yes, your images can automatically be verified within Adobe Photoshop right after the embed process, but many times, when you upload them to a website, they get manipulated and this can, under certain conditions, destroy the watermark.  For those of you on a PC, you can download the free IE version of the Digimarc Reader for Images.  Once this is installed, all you need to do is browse your website and the browser will automatically look for Digimarc digital watermarks.  Once a digital watermark is detected, the toolbar will show a green check mark like this:

 

And if you have the Image Overlay option turned on, all digital watermarked images will show the “Circle d” in the bottom left corner of the image like this:

Now you can quickly see any images that did not retain the watermark.  Remember, the best way to ensure that your watermarks survive is to embed the watermark at the intended display resolution and as the last step in your design process.  Also, did you know you could right click on that “Circle d” and get information about the owner?  Try it!
