Please do not post your reply above the material you are commenting on: it makes
it difficult to hold a conversation. -You- might be looking at a pretty interface
where all of the previous conversations are immediately visible, but that pretty
interface is talking to a text-only Usenet newsgroup, and most Usenet News clients
present one message at a time. This newsgroup gets between 4200 and 6500 messages
per month (that is up to 200 per day), and approximately half of those are from
people who are NOT using the pretty interfaces. If you continue to force people to
skip down to the bottom and try to read the sequence of messages -backwards-
then you are going to find that people are going to give up and stop replying to you.

If you google on the keyword stirmark the very first web site that comes up is
the official website for stirmark, with introductory material, documentation,
complete source code, and an indication of where a scholarly article about
it published in an IEEE journal can be found. For example, you could have found
the "why is it?" described on the main stirmark web page

Praetorian wrote, 'If you haven't figured it out yet, nobody on this newsgroup is going
to send you a reply along the lines of "Here's an m-file that does the
watermarking, go have fun with it!"'. Praetorian is correct: we are not here to
do your elementary googling for you. We expect you to do your own research.

If you have a general question about watermarking that is raised by your research
into stirmark, then you should take that question to an -appropriate- newsgroup
such as sci.image.processing. This newsgroup is for questions related to MATLAB
and other related MATHWORKS products. For example, if you were to re-implement
stirmark in Matlab instead of using the existing (free) source code, and you
encountered an error message you did not understand, then we could help you 
understand that error message and suggest ways to fix that problem.


Sorry, lately there just have been too many people blatantly taking advantage
of our good natures, asking us to do work that they could obviously easily do.
As a result, some of us are finding that we need to set clear boundaries
and tell people that we *will not* help them with something, at least not
until they have clearly demonstrated that they have made some effort themselves.
Googling something for someone doesn't get the floors vacuumed or the toilets
cleaned at home.

Please review questions before posting them. Be specific. Use examples of what you mean,
of what you don't mean. Specify boundary conditions, and data classes and value
relationships -- what if we scrambled your data or used -Inf, NaN, or complex(rand,rand)?
