One of the beauties of the 5x5 pixel idea is that there is no cost.  It would
simply be a small selection of pixels that would be put into the image by the
author into a field of like colored pixels.  this allows for about 32 million
different watermarks with a 25 pixel area this is even enough to allow a sub
clasification mark that could be used to further authenticate the models.
This could be done by reducing the field to 4x5 and setting aside the other
five pixels as a sub designation allowing 32 sub models and still leaving us
with over a million watermarks.  Yeah lego will probably never check these but
this could prove a useful system if the rights to a picture do ever become
disputed.  The only administrative task associated with this is to create a
repository for the watermarks.  Maybe a watermark could be given upon lugnet
membership that prvides an easy way of keeping track of them.  Like I said I'm
just throwing some ideas out there

(...) The problem with this kind of mark is that it's easily lost if the the image is resized or even jpeg encoded. (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad, lugnet.dear-lego)
