Micromarking
Protect your creative ownership with Wacom Yuify's advanced technology. Embed an invisible micromark into every exported file before sharing your image. This resilient mark withstands any tampering attempts, ensuring the integrity of your artwork. Seamlessly linked to your Yuify project, this secure connection effortlessly safeguards your ownership.
Micromarking, a proprietary technology patented by Wacom, is at the core of Wacom Yuify's innovative approach. First, Yuify establishes your authorship through data derived from your artwork. Then, it seamlessly embeds a unique invisible ID into the visual composition of your photo or digital artwork during the export process. This preserves the image quality while creating a robust link between you as the artist and your creation. This process facilitates the creation of projects from your export records, allowing you to assign licenses, sign agreements, and manage your digital rights with ease.
Digital link
Transform your artwork into a digital business card with the micromarking technology and Yuifinder. Everyone can scan your digital art to connect with you, your digital presence and your portfolio. You can manage details in Wacom Yuify, and engage with the art community for seamless, secure interactions and agreements.
Wacom ID
A Wacom ID is your personal account that you use to access Wacom services and platforms. It is your unique identifier with Wacom and consists of a login name and a password. Only when you want to create a legally binding contract using the Yuify service, an address needs to be provided which will be included in the contract to make it legally robust for most legal institutions.
Yuifinder
Introducing a freely accessible tool that unveils your authorship and license settings of any artwork micromarked by Wacom Yuify.
Permanent Records
A permanent blockchain record of your export event is generated, serving as indisputable proof of your initial registration, containing supportive data to reinforce your status as the original creator. These records are immutable and permanent, providing robust evidence of your content, offering digital link you and your authorship.
Licensing
Similarly, license agreements are meticulously recorded and can be securely accessed whenever needed. Yuify provides a secure platform for transferring licenses, protecting your artwork from unauthorized use or distribution. Easily track and manage all your licenses in one place. The intuitive interface of Yuify allows to monitor who holds which license and the terms of each agreement, ensuring full compliance with licensing conditions.
Blockchain
In licensing, blockchain acts as a secure ledger for managing agreements. Each block represents a unique license, creating an immutable record. Once recorded, details cannot be altered, ensuring your integrity. This provides a reliable method for managing licenses, enabling secure recording and retrieval of agreements.
