A watermark is a logo or graphic placed over an image to identify the owner or creator. Watermarks are often used to protect intellectual property from unauthorized copying or distribution. Photoshop includes several options for creating watermarks, including placing a logo or text over an image, or creating a transparent background with a logo or text.
To create a watermark logo in Photoshop:
1. Open Photoshop and select the “File” menu. 2. Choose “Open” and browse to the image you want to watermark. Select the image and click “Open.” 3. Click the “Layer” menu and select “New Layer.” A new layer will appear in the Layers palette.
4. Select the “Text” tool from the toolbar and click on the image where you want to place your watermark logo. Type in your text and choose a font, color and size. 5. To add a graphic as your watermark logo, select the “Image” tool from the toolbar and click on the image where you want to place your logo. Browse to the location of your graphic file and double-click it to insert it into your Photoshop document. 6. To Save your watermarked image, select “File” from the menu and choose “Save As.” In the dialog box that appears, choose a file format from the drop-down menu and click “Save.”
