Use Microblading app to store, protect your pictures and to get more clients.

Microblading app added the new amazing feature that can help you to organize your photos; protect your images' copyright/ownership and make your PMU business to stand out from the competition.

Metadata, Watermarks, and Image Protection

Many PMU artists use watermarks on their images, mainly to protect their copyright. Is it a good idea? Is there a better way?

• What is metadata?
• Metatags and copyright
• Water marks issues 
• Metadata and Google 
• How to add metadata to your images?

Images are a collection of pixels that encoded into JPEG, PNG etc image-type files. When you add watermarks you apply secondary image/text on top of your original image. Metadata is a little piece of code embedded into the image file code.

Watermark

Looks ugly, prevents clients to see the details, hated by online platforms, Like Google, Facebook, Instagram, Yelp etc 

- Easy to add
- Easy to remove
- Weak copyright protection
- Not good for Google and Social                     

Metadata

Elegant solution to protect your ownership and get promoted online

- Difficult to add
- Difficult to remove
- Strong copyright protection
- Encouraged by Google
- Clean Images for Social

Watermark, no metada:

image cluttered with logo/text

See nothing and they try to guess info using their image AI. Its a long and expensive process for them and in most case they skip and don't attempt to establish the image copyright

Google LOVES IPTC metadata!

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/image-license-metadata

What Google say about images with metadata:

"When you specify image metadata, Google Images can show more details about the image, such as who the creator is, how people can use an image, and credit information. For example, providing licensing information can make the image eligible for the Licensable badge, which provides a link to the license and more detail on how someone can use the image."

"Google recommends that, at the very least, you retain critical metadata related to image rights information and identification. For example, whenever possible try to keep the IPTC fields creator, credit line, and copyright notice to provide proper attribution."

"IPTC photo metadata: IPTC photo metadata is embedded into the image itself, and the image and metadata can move from page to page while still staying intact. You only need to embed IPTC photo metadata once per image."


Important:
There are different metadata standards. IPTC - is the one you need

I love how easy it is to setup and customize paperwork. The best part is I hardly have anything to do because they add new paperwork like Covid sheets right away. They also have the most spectacular customer service. If something for some reason goes wrong the owner themselves will help you the moment she finds out. The best news I found out she has a ton of new features coming soon!! 😍
