how to protect your intellectual property?

[kwfine]

Good evening, all members!

As part of a school project, I have to create a logo and other graphics.
But sometimes, I was thinking if there is any better method to protect the files that created by me.
Surely, if you name the file like created_by_kwfine.jpg, it can be renamed again and again; everyone can claim the file was created by him / her.

So, could you suggest some ways to protect your intellectual property?

I have heard that it is common to add a unqiue number to somewhere maybe the header of the picture using a hexadecimal editor. Is that true?

Any ideas?

Watermark?

Yeah, I was gonna suggest the same thing. Watermarks are a great way to protect your property, esspecially images.

Another way, hide TEXT messages in your images.

Hi, Raymond!
I got a question for the software you have introudced in the URL.
You said the software ImageHide can hide MP3, if when someone pressed the image, can he hear any music from the image?

kwfine, when you hide MP3 in an image, you won't hear music when you open the image.
