I just recently discovered that I can add an “invisible” watermark using my camera’s EXIF data information. Every DSLR photo has this information. For my Canon Rebel XT, I can set the owner info to © My Name and Email. The EXIF data will be on every photo I ever take from now on. :yahoo

XT Owners: To have your name appear in the EXIF data in your pictures as “Owner”, first connect the camera to the computer. When the Canon Camera Window software comes up, select the “Set to Camera” tab. Click on the center button that says “Confirms/Changes Camera Settings.” There you’ll see a field where you can enter your name. If you don’t do that, the EXIF owner name shows as “unknown.”

That is so cool! I wonder if I can do that with my kodak P880?

I would think so, and probably by using the same steps.
