Watermarks are a necessary evil for many photographers. They help protect your images from being used without permission, but can often be a pain to create and apply.
Photoshop makes it easy to add watermarks to your images, and even offers a few different options for how to do it.
The first step is to open your image in Photoshop. Then, click on the “Layer” menu at the top of the screen and select “New Layer.” A new layer will appear in your Layers panel.
Next, click on the “T” icon in the Tools panel to select the Type tool. Then, click anywhere on your image and type in the text you want to use for your watermark. If you want to change the font or color of your text, you can do so using the options in the Character panel.
Once you’re happy with your text, go back to the Layers panel and click on the “fx” icon at the bottom. Select “Blend Mode” from the menu that appears and choose “Screen.” This will make your watermark less intrusive.
If you want to move your watermark around, simply click on the layer in the Layers panel and use the Move tool (the arrow icon) to position it where you want it. You can also resize it by clicking on one of the corner handles and dragging inward or outward.
When you’re happy with how your watermark looks, go to File > Save As and save your image as a JPEG file. Now when you open it up, your watermark will be there!
Conclusion:
Now that you know how to add a watermark in Photoshop, you can protect your images with ease! Just remember to keep it subtle so it doesn’t interfere with the overall look of your photo.
