In this paper, a spatial watermarking technique is used to prove the legal ownership for certain digital image. Certain degraded version of the protected digital image is used as a watermark to be extracted to solve technically the problem of ownership claims. The digital image is divided into three different copies depending on the frequency to extract the three main colours. The goal for that is to choose the better colour layer that will host the watermark. The standards of watermarking technology regarding the robustness of the system against different attacks and the invisibility condition were achieved successfully. The submitted technique is adaptive depending on the nature of each individual digital image which gives more successful results. Hundreds of digital images with different characteristics were used; several types of attacks were tested and several subjective and objective evaluations were used to examine the performance of the submitted technique.
