I don't remember if it was a photoshop or gimp script (though I think I had it on gimp before I got photoshop).
What the script did (if I can remember) was make a virtually invisible watermark, and after the script had ran, you would have to take the finished picture, duplicate it, and change the layer mode to something like grain extract or difference to be able to see the mark.

I know it sounds a little vague, but if you recognize it, let me know please, lol.
Thanks in advance!

I remember it...but forgot if I saw it on GimpTalk or Flicker Gimp users discussion. I am pretty sure it was Photocomix who posted the directions. Not really, I am not sure at all!

*ok, just had to do some digging. I don't know if this is what you are interested in, but it's a start.

Yeah, I searched there when I first started looking for it, but searched 'copyright' instead of 'watermark'. Found it here.

Thanks for the help!

Okay, the script doesn't seem to work for me, as I get the same error code as in the comments:

Failed to load data:

Fatal parse error in pattern file 'C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\.gimp-2.6\patterns\screen.pat': Unknown pattern format version 65536.

The only thing that looked helpful was in French...any ideas?

[edit 2]
I don't know anything about scripting in Gimp, so I don't know how to fix it, but I went ahead and looked at the script, saw the creation of 'Apply Watermark' in "/Filters/Render". I tried that out, and it completes the script where it left off.

It seems a input problem...maybe the image you try to use was a photoshop pattern ? In case the name of the extension (.pat) is the same used by gimp pattern but are no compatible

Anyway if that if you used on another image (as .jpg,png or tiff ) you should not have problem

Here is a link to a tutorial fencepost wrote about watermarking.

Using G'MIC and the fourier watermark works even better for watermarking images!
