Watermarking Watermarking is a digital technique used to embed visible or invisible marks, logos, text, or graphics into digital images to identify the copyright owner, protect intellectual property rights, and deter unauthorized use or reproduction of the images. Watermarks are typically overlaid onto the image or embedded within its metadata using image editing software or specialized watermarking tools.
Visible watermarks are often translucent logos or text overlays that are prominently displayed across the image, while invisible watermarks are embedded into the image data itself and can only be detected using specialized software or algorithms. Watermarking is commonly used by photographers, artists, and content creators to claim ownership of their work, establish copyright protection, and maintain control over how their images are shared and distributed online. |
