I'm also looking for a simple but effective way to add invisible watermark. I guess this is a secret for many people and they don't want to share their solutions and algorithms which is understandable. I'll google more about adding watermark for jpeg images, thanks for the idea!

I don't like DRM and that's why I'm trying to find other solutions to fight against piracy. With invisible watermark I could at least find out "where's the leak".
One very simple way to do an invisible watermark is to place a comment in the jpg image. This won't show and most people wouldn't even notice it. It can also be used to identify the source and indicate copyright. Irfanview is a program that can add a comment to an image. Of course it is not as obscure as modifying the image itself.
