Making your own watermark
by MdnyteShadow@aol.com

I did not copy this tutorial from any one else's.
I realize there are many watermark tutorials out there.
Any similarities in mine is purely coincidental.

Open a new image, 200 x 200 transparent

Set your forground color to black on your color pallette
Set your background color to white


Useing your preset shape tool set at elipse, Antialias checked, line width 1 (as pictured below), draw a small elipse on your transparent background.


Change your background color to black

Enter your text using black into the elipse. (Make sure to stay inside the white area) deselect the ants after your text is positioned right.


Go to effects, texture effects, emboss and apply

It will look like this...


Go to layers, properties and where it says blend mode, change this to soft light....


Your image will now look like this...


Save in .psp format

To use your new watermark...

Open the image you want to add your watermark to.
Copy your watermark (Edit, copy)
Now paste it on your image as a new layer (Edit, paste as new layer)

It should appear clear on your image like this...


Merge all layers and you are done.

You can always resize your watermark prior to adding it to your graphic if you want it smaller and less conspicuous, like pictured below...
