Creating My Own Copyright/Watermark


Can you give me step-by-step guidelines on how to create my own copyright/watermark for my photos. I would like to have a mark on the bottom of my photos when I send them off to printing companies ... I have Photoshop CS2. Thanks!

  Hi Melissa,

get a shareware watermark application from http://www.versiontracker.com/php/qs.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=watermark&srchArea=windows&submit=Go.

Have fun!

  you can go into the help menu in Photoshop to learn how to creat brushes ... that's what I did. Now I use a brush and just stamp each photo. It is Very convenient.

And to get the © symbol you can type Alt, 0, 1, 6, 9. Hold them all down at once, starting with Alt.

Here are some BP Forum threads with detailed instructions. I used one of these and worked well, still using it.

  There are a number of different ways to do this, including making a brush, writing an action, using a droplet, typing it in, dragging/dropping from a template, and probably a few I've not mentioned. And then there are combinations of these (using a layer style with type). The key here is the implementation will depend on what you envision. Do you have an example of what you want it to look like?

  Richard: I think what I am envisioning: Is the easiest, simplest way to add a copyright mark, photosbysweetpea (and possbily the year)
I would like to add them to photos before I send them off to be printed for clients. I also want to have them on photos that I create products (like note cards for). Thanks!
