Hi Saikat,

...nice to 'see' you again ....

I'm sorry, but I really don't have a clue about this kind of problems....

I'll ask 'higher up' to see if someone else can help you....

Isn't this what Digimarc is supposed to do?

Digimarc will put a digital id into a picture, and then if you sign up for their service track your pictures on the internet.

I've never used them, and I've been told the watermark is actually fairly easy to remove from the picture (but I don't know any details on that).

Saikat, Vegard, Noel,

....Digimarc is what has been suggested to me as well ... but it might be expensive ....
The other suggestion I got is to put a very faint, but large watermark across the image.
Worth a try ....
