It's incredibly easy to remove a Digimarc watermark. It doesn't take any special ability, knowledge, or technical skill, just a basic understanding of your graphics program and some time to experiment. Both PSP and Photoshop come with come with a Digimarc reader, so it's easy to check to see if the mark is still readable. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. I used to use Digimarc all the time until I found out how easy it is to remove the mark. Combine with the ease of removal the fact that you have to pay for the most basic subscription and it's not a very appealing option for most people (for some, yes, but not for most). bonni
