I was looking around other sites and I came across several redbubble images, mine included. I have not figured out the site yet but it looks like a place to play around with images and in some cases using the images to advertise the product they are selling, I think that is against the law…....not sure.The people using the images have a redbubble link with our username attached but I think it serves as more traffic to steal images…..not to increase chances of sales.I have contacted the company and told them that this is not a stock photograph company but the individuals are held responsible for the images they acquire. I copied some of the images they made with our images and I got a pretty decent result. If you go to polyvore and “TRY” the site, go to the search engine and type redbubble, you will find 7 pages of our images.There is no watermark on them,so they must have cropped them off.I wish there was a way to have a huge watermark displayed across the images only when someone tries to copy or print them. If you go for a visit, let me know what you think. Thank you, / Lisa

Image by photographer Glennis Siverson, www.glennisphotos.com. This was captured at a park in Beijing, China, where an elderly man had just finished painting watermarks on the sidewalk. In China, there are many people who practice calligraphy in public places, using water as their ink and the ground as their paper. Very large brushes are required and they look a bit like a giant felt tip pen. (For perspective, the characters in this image are about a foot in length.) Although the writing is temporary since the water evaporates, it’s an informal public display of one’s work, and an opportunity to practice calligraphy, which is taught in the schools.

Hiyah! Im really lovin the function where we can view a larger version of the image, but just noticed that we can also download that larger version as well. / I know the resolution is not big that anyone could print a large print out of it, but is actually enough for people with like me (photoshop skill) to reproduce it, even with watermark, people can still erase it. How do we avoid people from downloading the image? I know there are some flash based website where they have images but we can only view them, but this is flash.

My continuing evolution of bubatitudes (beatitudes ;-). When I joined bubble in early Jan I thought of it as just another gallery in which to display my work and despite initial reservations about it being ‘used’ without my permission by simply posting it on here I soon got over that reservation. That said I have made enquiries about RB giving us the option to put a watermark on the preview image and not just the enlarged view. The fact of the matter is that without it, it can be used without your permission with no credit given. You can write whatever copyright message/ threat beside it that you want as I have seen many do but honestly it’s a waste of pixels. The sort of person who would take it is the sort of person who wouldn’t give a damn about a copyright threat anyway. To make it safer, image copyrighting in the form of a watermark needs to be enforced by embedding it. Thinking that people wont steal an image because you ask politely or threaten legal action is a fantasy. On my own website I’ve made sure that everything is watermarked and therefore relatively useless to potential thieves. Basically when I bmailed RB about it they fobbed me off. Would be most interested in others thoughts on the subject. This journal entry could even be a petition to present to them if enough interest is shown. That said I think it is an awesome site and a wonderful social network for gauging interest, getting feedback and linking up with like minded souls. For me however it is only a social network a treasured enjoyed and valued social network but only this. I’ve certainly left behind any illusions of making money from it. In 25,000+ views and innumerable amazing compliments, comments, favouritings and features I am yet to make a sale which considering the numbers I find quite astounding. I know landscapes don’t sell much except when displayed close to the location they were taken but I also think its because the whole way the site seems to be set up is for the people least likely to buy, i.e. fellow artists and not the general public. Speaking for myself my walls are covered in my own work and I imagine most bubblers are the same (although I have still bought a number of items from RB myself). Granted my work is edited with a literal interpretation of place in mind and is not of the more sellable artistic and emotive sort that appears to appeal more but still it does sell. For the purposes of comparison the numerous galleries I display work in have sold 276 cards and 13 framed prints in the same time period, go figure. Well there it is my non sugar coated views. I hope the reader of this doesn’t condemn me too much for expressing my opinions. I really am most grateful to the wonderful creators of this site and all the wonderful fellow users on it who have been so generous in there encouragement and praise and whose amazing work has inspired me so much. Personally I am always trying to grow and improve and therefore analyse things with this in mind and it is in this spirit that I express these thoughts now. Thanks for reading, feedback welcome as always. Trav

Legal case worth noting.

A federal court in Minnesota has ruled that a business that allegedly copied copyrighted photographs from a Web site and used the images in advertisements is liable for the removal of embedded digital watermarks from the images. The court said that the watermarks were copyright-eligible as “copyright management information.” Accordingly, their removal was an actionable copyright violation, the court said. Case name is Gregerson v. Vilana Fin. Inc.

One more tip for all of you on how you can protect your images. One more thing you might want to do is always inserting FILE INFO in you PSD’s. Its located in the FILE/FILE INFO… Fill in fields like copyright etc. After that all of the stolen goods will save & export everything with your name as metadata. Believe me they will not look into that when stealing files. So every time someone saves a jpg, tiff file etc. the metadata will be inserted into the file… see illustration below…

WTF? Stolen Art

I was recently emailled and informed that my art had been seen floating around online under someone else’s name. the images have been taken from here, with their titles intact and stamped with the name “Michelle Stark” and “are” the quality is terrible, which means they probably wont get too far, but I hate the idea that someone else is claiming credit for my work- what can I do to stop this? I have googled, I have searched different sites for ‘michelle stark’ ‘are’ ‘nude’ and the title names (and any combination thereof) and have come up with nada. do any of you have an idea of how I can track down the culprit and give them a stern talking to? it doesn’t look like polyvore to me (first place I checked).. I can’t afford digimarc so I need to nip this in the bud.

Watermark and Panoramic Size Printing?

Just want to know whether you guys add in any watermark (signature, name), on file images that are up for sale? Also whether you create any canvas on the image, or having them through on full size with no canvas at all? I’m interested to know, as my previous works that i’ve edited, I added the canvas in CS. When I upload in RB, I’ve reworked some of my image (not all; probably only 1 to date), to exclude the canvas as well as watermark (signature/name, and copyright logo). Hmmm … does RB provide any panoramic size printing? Has anyone sell/buy this format before? Thanks. Regards, / Sidqie

Image Watermarking and Protection

This is not a rant about whether or not images are properly protected on the net anywhere; nor is it about the Orphan Works Bill. It’s not about creating panic in the artworld, and it’s not about absolute protection (that just doesn’t exist if you post on the net). It’s not going to protect your images from being taken either, but it might offer a small help for those of you who want to do everything you can to make sure you can prove ownership of your image somewhere down the road. With the help of Thomas Pettit I’ve done a little experiment using two pieces of software from the same developer. The first piece of software is “Image Mender” – it was designed to remove scratches and dust, as well as watermarks, from scanned images. (There are other freeware offerings out there that do the same thing, though this particular one costs $20, it does a better job.) Let’s face it – software like this isn’t necessary if you understand image editing and how to do it. Anyone with a little skill can remove a watermark in Photoshop or similar editors. What makes this software a little scary it’s it’s minimal cost and it’s ease of use. It isn’t designed (and won’t) do anything else, but it will remove a watermark from a “grabbed” image pretty fast. Open the grabbed image, trace a letter and hit the process button. In seconds it replaces the letter with pixels that match it’s surroundings. No cloning needed. It won’t work as well on every image, but it will work well enough to suit those folks who casually grab a pic from the net to use on their blogs or websites. And those are the people who could innocently help to create an orphan work (or perceived orphan work) from one of your pieces; simply by posting it somewhere else without it’s watermark (particularly since there’s no IPTC data retained in the image display on quite a number of sites). Using one of Thomas’ artworks the final result with no further editing is not perfect, but impressive nonetheless. Thomas’ original Commissioned Work – view the larger size to see the watermark# And the image after using Image Mender # (images used with the artist’s permission) You’ll notice where the first letter of of Thomas’ watermark crossed the line between the two tiles the program didn’t handle that too well and there is no line between the tiles, but the balance of the watermark was removed with a pretty good result. That took me all of 7 minutes in that program. It was so easy a child could do it. (What comes to mind here is “please don’t shoot the messenger” – all I am doing is giving out information.) Okay, on to the second program. It’s called “Icemark” and was created by the developer of Image Mender – so far as I can see it’s the only two offerings he has at the moment. What it does is embed an invisible watermark into your images that only you can see. Now, that doesn’t offer any protection in terms of preventing someone from taking your work for their website; after all, they can’t see the watermark. You could, however, copy that image from their website and open it in Icemark and the invisible watermark will be visible to you – that offers you a small measure of peace, but not much else. There’s no way (currently) to track your watermarks over the net. I did send off an email to the developer; I wasn’t sure, really, how much good it is to have an invisible watermark if you can’t track it. He responded rather quickly to my mails and he is working to develop a spyder that can do that – how long that will take is anybody’s guess. There is already something similar on the web if you care to use it. Digimarc offers a plugin for photoshop (oh, the plugin is free…functionality is what costs). If you buy a yearly subscription from Digimarc ($79 for minimal service to $499 for full service). Unless you buy the subscription you can’t embed an invisible watermark with the plugin, and you need to renew your subscription every year. The Icemark software costs $49.95 for personal licensing (says the typical environment would be on your home PC – I think most users (not all) on RB would qualify for that). The business license is a monstrous $950 – without the ability to track, which makes it useless for those who want to use it in a business environment. The other thing that makes it helpful if you qualify for the personal license is that it can batch process the adding of the invisible watermark and there is no limit to how many images you can place your watermark on. Finally – I am not recommending the use of either of these products, or urging people to use them. I decided it was worth posting to the journal as an informational and anyone who is interested can visit the site Phibit Software and ask their questions of the developer. The reason I even ran across the first software (Image Mender) was because a site I frequent (Giveaway of the Day) was giving it away free – fully licensed. It got a thumbs up from 649 users, and that got me interested enough to download it and have a look. I wonder how many of those 649 users are non-artists who just want nice clean images for their website? The other thing I wonder (and I mentioned this to Thomas) is…which software came first (the chicken or the egg)?

Has anyone used DIGIMARC for image protection? It’s meant to be visually undetectable – though some image changes apparently occur. Some licencing options also allow tracking so that when people re-use your pictures online you get notified. It sounds interesting but I’d like to hear from any users of this OR any other covert watermarking solutions.
