Newer and easier way to do water marks!



Ever want to put a water mark on your pics that is consistent? Well - this is a tutorial on how to make it a brush. I like to start out by going to file and clicking on new. When I do that it brings a new window where I choose the dimensions 1000 x 1000. Now I have a completely new canvas to work on. Here is where you create and play. For me, I like to use different fonts (so if you need more fonts you can always go here: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=105&page=3 There are a variety to choose from :))

I will start with a first font - NPW I find the size, font, color I like. Then I go to layer and open a New layer. I then choose a different font for athaniel and ilkerson. I place them where I like. I then create yet another New layer. On this new layer I choose another font, size, and color for Wilkerson. Once everything is in place how I want it to look I go to File - Save As. I save the PDF file so I can work from there to tweak and create others from it.

I then go back to File - Save for web. Doing that you can save it as a Gif or Png. I like to save as png Once saving it as a png - close out the pdf, go in and open your png file in photoshop. Once you open it you can go to edit - define brush preset - enter a name for your new brush. Now you can click on your brushes and it is now saved for whenever you want to mark your photos.

I always mark my photos by layering. I get my picture open - then I open a new layer. I click on brush and choose my siggy. Then I choose a color for my brush. By opening in a new layer you can move it around, change opacity and everything. When I am satisfied then I simply go to Layers - Merge visible. It is supper simple now! Let me know if this works for you :)
