Copyright is designed to enable you or the owner of the image to be credited for the media. Displaying the copyright notice on the image is an option. If you choose not to display the copyright notice on the image, the copyright will be retained as part of the meta data associated with that image. If you choose to display the copyright notice on the image, it will be overlaid on that image itself so that it can be visible online as well as on the downloaded image.
