Image metadata visible in other programs

My company wants to embed images with copyrights to our work. I have no problem adding metadata using Photoshop or Bridge. HOWEVER, when I open the image in other programs the metadata isn't visible and if I save the same image in a different program the metadata is erased. Is there some way to embed metadata like copyrights so that it will appear in other programs and be more difficult to remove? Or at least less likely to be accidently removed?

Not really. If someone has the file, they can delete the metadata. Also, some methods of save/export will strip metadata, and many websites remove it for uploaded images.

There are some proposed methods of changing how metadata is saved but no real standards.

Thanks for the reply. I know in the past I've encountered images with a copyright on them that transfered if I made a copy of the image or saved the image. Also, the copyright showed in various graphics programs. I'd like to know how that was done. I'm not trying to stop someone who purposely removes the metadata, but instead want the data to exist when the image is opened in different programs other than Adobe (while still showing in Adobe applications). If a copyright metadata is only visible in a few programs it's pretty much useless.

Everyone uses the same standards. As long as the viewer is standards-compliant, your metadata will be visible. What applications are not working?
