Digimarc Registration Included with Photoshop Subscription?

Hi,

 

I'm wondering if a Digimarc Barcode registration/subscription is included with a Photoshop subscription or needs to be purchased separately? 

 

All Adobe literature seems to imply that using the plugin is free with a Photoshop subscription but the only way I can see to get the required Digimarc ID (by clicking on the Filter > Digimarc > Embed Watermark > Persoalize button) takes me to Digimarc's pricing page with no explanation or how or whether or not it integrates with PS. 

 

Digimarc's own literature is equally vague about wether or not separate registration is included with an Adobe account. 

 

Can anyone please shed some light on this?

 

Thanks!

The Photoshop plugin is free but the tracking service is not free.

You will need a unique PIN and ID directly from Digimarc

Thanks for the replies @jane-e  and @Nancy OShea and for confirming that.

 

The links you supplied are the same ones that sent me down the rabbit hole in the first place. It would be nice if they were explicit about the need for a paid Digimarc subscription but I guess that's all part of the sales funnel.

 

Thanks again!

Hi @afmeckel 

 

If this is what you are trying to install, it says "Free" in the upper right. Follow the instructions on the Digimarc Help page:
