Over the next few weeks I'm going to revisit some older posts and refresh them. My goal is to tie them together so an overview of workflow solutions are provided to make watermarking images easier for you.

When I used to work on designing identity documents we talked about layers of security, because no single solution can do it all. RFID chips, specialty printing inks, substrates and special design features needed to be combined to offer certain levels of security. Additionally, I will toss in some discussions about free image protection solutions. I have to give some credit to Scott Kelby's post where he mentions a lot of available solutions he likes, including a very nice review of Digimarc for Images. I don't want to review other commercial applications, but will discuss some of the free solutions he mentions like metadata and how to incorporate these into your workflow.

If there's an image protection solution you'd like to discuss, let me know. Let's see if we can figure out the best combination of solutions for your time and money.
