International Journal of Computer Information Systems, Vol. 3, No. 4, 2011 Abstract— Digital watermarking is the process of inserting a digital signal of a defined pattern into digital data. This is used to identify the owner of the work, to authenticate the content, to trace illegal copies of the work and other similar purposes. This paper provides new techniques of hiding color watermark into color image. The analysis of this technique is taken in term of different value of power of noise of Gaussian Noise. This paper shows how different color watermark hide in color image in spatial domain perform for different values noise. This technique shows visible watermarking scheme. Index Terms— Digital Watermark, SNR, White Gaussian Noise, Spatial Domain I. INTRODUCTION HE watermark is a signal embedded into the host media to be protected, such as an image or audio or video. It contains useful certifiable information for the owner of the host media, such as producer's name, company logo, etc; the watermark can be detected or extracted later to make an assertion about the host media. There are two important properties of a watermark; the first is that the watermark embedding should not alter the quality and visually of the host image and it should be perceptually invisible. The second property is robustness with respect to image distortions. This means that the watermark is difficult for an attacker to remove and it should be also robust to common image processing and geometric operations, such as filtering, resizing, cropping and image compression [1, 4]. II. COLOR IMAGE WATERMARKING In our scheme, a different color watermark image is used as the original watermark W of size pixels 512*512, 256*256 and128*128 which is shown in fig. 1.
