With the ever increasing number of digital assets, digital watermarking has become an important topic. Watermarking helps you to protect your intellectual properties. Protect your images by adding watermarks.
Digital watermarking is a technology for embedding information into digital assets. In general, information for protecting copyrights is embedded as a watermark. A watermarked image can prove its origin, thereby protecting copyright. A watermark also discourages the making of illegal copies.
BACKGROUND INFO: Aspects of Protection
Watermarking can serve many different purposes from tamper proofing to authentication. Three major aspects in the protection of digital assets have been pointed out, each of them with different requirements: first copyright protection, protecting ownership and usage rights; secondly tamper-proofing, aiming at checking document integrity; and thirdly authentication, the purpose of which is to check the authenticity of a document. While robust watermarks are typically used for copyright protection, fragile or semi-fragile watermarks are proposed to ensure tamper proofing and authentication.
For embedding watermarks, Cumulus provides the Watermark AssetProcessor. It enables you to embed visible watermarks into following pixel image formats: JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PNG, and PCX. It creates a copy of a cataloged asset with the digital watermark embedded.
