In the recent years, several digital watermarking applications have been developed for copyright protection of digital images. In this article we have tested how they perform in practical applications. We have identified the most common operations performed by professional photographers and web developers, and tested the robustness of watermarks embedded using the applications for copyright watermarking. Our aim was to prove that commercially available software does not meet the requirements of photography and web industry. We have also identified areas in which the software should be improved in order to meet current and future requirements of the industry.
