Grump! Just a note to complain to anyone who will listen that I've been 
spending the past couple of days doing things I should have been doing all 
along but didn't because I was too lazy and now I'm mired in mind-numbing 
repetitious work that's driving me into a state of unconscious funk. Sigh. And 
all of this with a hurricane bearing down. Oh, well. Once more into the breach 
. . .

Anyway, in preparation for building a new website, I'm optimizing photos for 
the web instead of letting Photoshop do it for me. In the past I've always put 
a disclaimer on my site that my stuff is for printing, and it may look a little 
off on the web, etc. Then I used Save For Web in Photoshop. This time, however, 
I decided to do it right, including watermarking images, which I've 
accomplished by using Digimarc, which is a Photoshop plugin that embeds a 
digital watermark in your image. I got the premium plan so when I get these 
images on the web, I can use Digimarc to track any unauthorized use. Pretty 
spiffy.

But that means starting over with each image, and this time I'm embedding file 
info (FILE>File Info) into each image before prepping it, and that is _tedious_ 
to an extreme. But it's the kind of thing I should have been doing all along, 
as each image was escorted out of camera raw into PSD or TIFF. Sigh.

I don't want to do it! I'm tired of doing it! It's making my brain hurt! (Sound 
of childish stomping of feet), but I'm doing it anyway.

Learn from my laziness. Embed file into from the git-go. You'll be a happier 
person.
