Many moons ago I blogged about people's misconceptions regarding digital watermarks and how often they're misconstrued for visual watermarks. (You can read that choice post here if you like.) I failed to mention that yes, you can add both a visual and digital watermark to your images. 

There are quite a number of available visual watermarking applications out there, so choose carefully (for onesy-twosies, we recommend just using a layer in Photoshop, but there are also automatic tools out there). However, when it comes to digital watermarking, Digimarc is the expert, so don't search any further. Don't forget though, the visible watermark, which is most often text or some sort of a logo sitting on top of your image, can negatively impact the visible quality of what you want to showcase. 

I recently ran across this About.com article that actually talks about "How to Watermark Your Photos" and they give you many options to choose from. I found it pretty accurate, so if you have time... check it out here.

Over the last couple of days I was attended a Pragmatic Marketing session on Practical Product Management.

Although I'm not planning on a business MBA, my duties have expanded to include managing the product cycle for one of our digital watermark embedding systems.

We all strive to be rugged individuals with the will and energy to make informed decisions based on our own research, but who has the time???

So I'm going to save you time!

This year was my first time attending Photoshop World and I must say it was a great show. Really fun. For anyone interested in photography or Photoshop, no matter whether you're a beginner or expert, I highly recommend attending as there is a lot to learn and never a dull moment.

Did you miss out? You'll have another change in 2011. Digimarc will host another booth at the show in Orlando, Florida from March 30th through April 1st. Find out more by clicking on the logo below. Also, for you Facebookers, check out some images from our booth by clicking here (including yours truly and my colleagues!).
