This patent document relates generally to steganography and digital watermarking. One claim recites an apparatus comprising: electronic memory for buffering samples corresponding to a digital image; means for analyzing a digital image relative to an expected workflow process, the expected workflow process comprising optical capture of a printed version of the digital image, the digital image comprising data representing process colors CMY; means for applying tone correction to the digital image, said means for applying yielding an altered digital image; means for transforming the altered digital image with digital watermarking, the digital watermarking conveying a plural-bit message; and a processor configured for providing the transformed, altered digital image. Of course, other claims and combinations are provided too.

1. A digital watermark embedding method comprising: using a configured processor, analyzing a digital image relative to an expected workflow process, the workflow process comprising optical capture of a printed version of the digital image, the digital image comprising data representing process colors Cyan (C), Magenta (M) and Yellow (Y);based on the analysis, applying tone correction to the digital image, said applying yielding an altered digital image;using a configured processor, transforming the altered digital image with digital watermarking, the digital watermarking conveying a plural-bit message; andproviding the transformed, altered digital image. 2. The method of claim 1 in which the workflow process represents distortion attributable to optical capture. 3. The method of claim 2 in which the distortion comprises at least one of compression, noise or signal sampling. 4. The method of claim 1 in which the transforming introduces changes in chrominance, in which a set of changes are made to have an equivalent change in chrominance while being weighted differently among a plurality of color channels. 5. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause an electronic processor to perform the method of claim 1. 6. The method of claim 1 in which the digital image comprises data representing process colors CMY and Black (K). 7. An apparatus comprising: electronic memory for buffering samples corresponding to a digital image;means for analyzing a digital image relative to an expected workflow process, the expected workflow process comprising optical capture of a printed version of the digital image, the digital image comprising data representing process colors Cyan (C), Magenta (M) and Yellow (Y);means for applying tone correction to the digital image, said means for applying yielding an altered digital image;means for transforming the altered digital image with digital watermarking, the digital watermarking conveying a plural-bit message; anda processor configured for providing the transformed, altered digital image. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 in which the workflow process represents distortion attributable to optical capture. 9. The apparatus of claim 8 in which the distortion comprises at least one of compression, noise or signal sampling. 10. The apparatus of claim 7 in which the transforming introduces changes in chrominance, in which a set of changes are made to have an equivalent change in chrominance while being weighted differently among a plurality of color channels. 11. The apparatus of claim 7 in which the digital image comprises data representing process colors CMY and Black (K). 12. A method comprising: receiving data representing a digital image;analyzing the data to determine whether the digital image is suitable for hosting encoded auxiliary information relative to an anticipated workflow process;based on a result of said analyzing, transforming the digital image by altering the data, said transforming yielding a transformed digital image;altering the transformed digital image by encoding auxiliary information therein, in which the auxiliary information is distributed in the data so as to be encoded in multiple different color channels of the digital image, said altering yielding an encoded digital image;providing the encoded digital image for the anticipated workflow process. 13. The method of claim 12 in which the anticipated workflow process comprises printing the encoded digital image, the printing yielding a printed digital image which includes the auxiliary information encoded therein. 14. The method of claim 13 in which the anticipated workflow process further comprises a digital capture of the printed digital image. 15. The method of claim 12 in which said transforming comprises tone correcting at least a subset of pixels represented by the data. 16. The method of claim 12 in which said transforming comprises filtering the data with a Gausian, Weiner or wavelet-based filter. 17. The method of claim 12 further comprising obtaining a response curve from a library of response curves, in which said analyzing comprises analyzing the data relative to the obtained response curve. 18. The method of claim 12 in which the auxiliary information is distributed in the data so as to be encoded primarily in a blue-yellow direction of the digital image. 19. The method of claim 18 in which said altering utilizes digital watermarking. 20. The method of claim 19 in which the anticipated workflow process comprises printing the encoded digital image, the printing yielding a printed digital image which includes the auxiliary information encoded therein. 21. The method of claim 20 in which the anticipated workflow process further comprises a digital capture of the printed digital image.
