Everyone comes across beautiful images and amazing digital art when perusing through the Internet. And many times, professionals run into their own images being used on other websites. I assume that most pros take pride in their work and enjoy showcasing it. Of course, infringement is the inherent danger of putting your prized images out there for all to see. Now, it could be a simple blogger that found your image and used it on a post, but it could also be a commercial website, generating revenue from your property. 

After months of research around this topic, I noticed a common theme regarding what to do when this happens to you. It came down to two key factors: time and money. It is too time consuming and costly to take actions on these infringing folks. So...what can you do?

OK, that headline was a bit sensationalized.  Since the undead are such a hot topic I thought it might help spice up a blog on watermarking and bring in a whole new audience. Maybe. 

So how do vampires and digital watermarking blogs connect? Let's sink out teeth into it...

Layers Magazine recently did a review of Digimarc for Images. It's good to see such a great magazine include us in their review section. You can read the review here. I must make mention the review was written a little while ago, and states there is no 64bit support. But as many of you may know already, we have a 64bit version available now. You can get it free by going to our downloads section. It's also built into the Adobe Photoshop CS5 release, so no need to update if you have CS5. 

For those of you who are users of Adobe products, Layers Magazine, along with the website can be a great resource. They provide videos and tutorials that cover almost everything. Check them out here and sign up for a free digital version of the magazine.

We've had a lot of positive feedback about the Chroma update to Digimarc for Images and the improved customer account site. Thanks to your support, we're going to hit the road this coming September and go to Las Vegas for Photoshop World.

Subscribers should come by and say HI! Those of you sitting on the fence: Let us show you in person how Digimarc for Images could work for you. I'm at the show for classes too, probably like most of you who'll attend, but I'll hang around the booth in hopes of meeting a few of you.

It's a great way to end the summer, so plan on meeting us at Photoshop World.
