If you put the copyright into the 'copyright' field (File - File Info -
Copyright) it stays in the JPEG or GIF image (right near the beginning of
the file), but you don't see it in a browser, but you can see it using a
text or binhex editor. Is that what you want? If you want it to show, you
can put the copyright in a type layer. If you need to automate that, use
the 'security' option in File - Automate - Save for Web. Finally, you can
script both using the scripting plug-in for V7, and presumably CS.

Correction to my own post regarding the copyright showing up in text or
hex editor. What I said is true when using PS Version 6 on the Macintosh
(V9+), and only when you use Save for Web (for both JPG and GIF) but only
JPG when using Save As. When using Save As for GIF the copyright is not
included. Strange. It doesn't seem matter if you check the '[] Mark' box.

Don't know about PS 7 Mac or WindoZe version.

Howdy

Thanks for the help. What I'm actually trying to do is pull images off a
CD, resize them and save for web.

So I've got a script that opens each image in the CD, resizes etc, opens
the "file info" box, appends a copyright notice from a photoshop XMP
file, and then saves it for web at various sizes I need.

But it seems to me that the little © notice in the document title (ie
when you open the image in photoshop itself, it appears as "©img001.jpg")
is only there if you save it as a normal unoptimized jpg. If you save it
for web, no such like. The image just becomes "img001.jpg".

Anyone had a similar problem, or more importantly a solution!

TIA

What I've got is a large number of images, that I am resaving

Save for Web strips away excess non-image data. Do Save As.

I'm afraid there's been yet more misinformation regarding the embedded text
'copyright' posted. I posted earlier how V6 works on the Mac, and now that
I'm at work, here is how Version 7 works (on the Wintel platform). This
presumes all you want is to keep the copyright notice in the image so that
it can be seen with a HEX or Text editor. It does _not_ place the text over
the viewed image.

PS Version 7.01 (Wintel, XP Pro)
Saving JPEG and GIF files with File - File Info - Mark Copyright (with the
copyright typed in.)

Save For Web - JPEG and GIF both carry the copyright
Save As - JPEG only (GIF loses the copyright)

I'm afraid the later is not true. Save As for GIF (only) loses the
copyright.

On my XP box Save for Web strips the copyright in both 6 and 7 for jpeg.

Stange. Well, it's a bit late for us to post a bug report. :(

On my XP box, PS7 retains the copyright notice in a jpg file using
either Save As or Save For Web. However, PS cannot read the
copyright notice from a file that was Saved For Web; nevertheless,
the copyright notice really is in the file, as jjs has said.
