It's pointless to put your name in the binary as people can simply
load it into a paint program and then save it again. If you really
want to, I know DPaint supports it (I think you press F1 in the save
requester)

A better way to add copyright is to put your initials/nickname in
one of the corners of an image. It's still not difficult to remove
though, so unfotunatly I don't think your work can really be safe.

Unless you create your own encryped picture format and supply the
viewer :)

See ya :)
