<span>This paper presents a watermarking scheme for grayscale images, in which lifting wavelet transform and singular value decomposition are exploited based on multi-objective artificial bee colony optimization to produce robust method. Furthermore, increasing security encryption of the watermark is done prior embedding operation. In proposed scheme, actual image altered four sub-band over three levels then embedded LH transformed original image. operation, multiple scaling factors utilized behalf single element get maximum probable robustness without changing lucidity. Multi-objective determination optimal values components, examined against various types attacks. For making more secure, encrypted chaotically by logistic chaotic before it host (original) The experimental results show excellent imperceptibility good resiliency wide range processing attacks.</span>
