Hello, 

I need to know, of which kind DIGIKAMs watermarking is; unfortunately there are TWO places, one can find "watermarking"

1.) in Help: 
-> Chapter 2 Using digiKam 
-> Digital Asset Management (DAM) with digiKam
-> Protect your authorship and copyleft/right
-> Digital Watermarking (DW)
... Digital Watermarking (DW)... "Digital Watermarking refers to an invisible digital watermark that is..." 

2.) In batch queue manager(BQM):
-> EXTRA                           ("EXTRA")
-> Stapelverarbeitung              (batch queue manager)
-> Wasserzeichen hinzufügen        (add watermark, with some configurations )

QUESTIONs:
- is the realization the SAME in _both_ cases?
- is this info STORED an integral part of a pic in a holographic way (comp. 1.)?
- is there a way to CHECK if watermarking was sucessful
- how can I SEE this information as copyright OWNER?
- how can I SEE this information of OTHER copyright OWNER?
- is their a tool to check DIGIKAMS and others(!!!) watermarks??

Sorry, I know, these lots of questions. 

Hope for answers

Would be nice to have a neutral type platform- at the moment, we can report:
- a BIG which refers to misworking of existing software
- a WISH which shall help improving existing software

- NO way just to put a simple QUESTION?

 ???

- is this info STORED an integral part of a pic in a holographic way (comp.
1.)?
No just text.

- is there a way to CHECK if watermarking was sucessful
It's a visual stuff over the picture...

- how can I SEE this information as copyright OWNER?
- how can I SEE this information of OTHER copyright OWNER?
Use metadata viewer. To set (c) in metadat, use metadata template.

- is their a tool to check DIGIKAMS and others(!!!) watermarks??
no response relevant.

No visible wartermarking is pattented method. This cannot be implemented in open-source.

Note : Bugzilla is to way to report problem or to post whishes, not to ask simple question. Use mailing list for that.
