I put the date I publish a photo into the IPTC copyright metadata slot. I put the capture year into the caption slot. Digital images carry their capture date/time stamp around with them unless you strip the metadata. Watermarking is based on the IPTC copyright metadata.
eg, see the annotation on this photo: http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW7/41c.htm If I modify and/or republish a photo, as for a new edition or something like that, I copyright it again with the updated edition's date. Caption information remains the same, might be appended to. Why? because this is what seems to make sense to me and to the people I sell pictures to. ;-) Godfrey On Nov 1, 2007, at 12:53 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > ...
