It is possible to include artist information in EXIF tag. The only problem that I can think of is that I guess a lot of JPEG files tend to have JFIF, which is an incompatible feature with EXIF and causes some extra issues when dealing with EXIF information. Atleast modern versions of Windows support reading EXIF author tag, so that would be a way to incorporate that. Tags supported by EXIF - now that's a list that gives one a headache. I guess the only bad thing here is that finding the tools to modify EXIF may be a bit on the harder side. In the other hand people who rename files and then reupload wouldn't be a problem as a lot of people don't even know what EXIF is :D |

even if we allowed artists to "sign " their covers all anyone has to do is edit it out and they can re-upload the cover as their own for any other forum/purpose , like others have said "once you set it free on the internets you'll have no controll over what happens to it " i agrree is sucks to not get credit for work but in the end nothing we do would stop others from using what we do for good or ill . so i'd guess i vote no on made by tags , watermarks , etc |

Just a note about EXIF tags: these will not be visible in the image. It is textual metainformation within the file, but not in the graphic data. |

| AppleQueso:
Here's a better question: who here actually would put their name on covers they create if they were given the option to? I wouldn't. |
