Hey guys,
I need to make a watermark to protect my photo, have to send it as a preview to some guy and have to do it in 15 minutes. How do I put some 'protected' sign in Photoshop!?
THANKS A LOT
If you want to get fancier, you can make a brush with your copyright (if it's text) and then you are able to adjust size and opacity through the brush tool and just paint it on any shot. I find it to be much easier than typing it each time, or trying to create an action.
I found the instructions on here a while back (I think idnic posted them). I'll see if I can find the copy I printed and post them.
I had to adjust the dimensions somewhat, since I have a very long name. But otherwise it was easy, and now shows up at the bottom of the list of brushes - I just select it, usually at 100% opacity, and then align it on the photo, click once, and there it is - a copyright mark.
I followed those steps, but my "define brush preset" remains greyed out - it won't let me do it.
I have tried it with and without selection (i.e. selecting the text). I have tried it on the background, as well as promoted to a layer, I have tried it flattened.
I have tried going in via edit - define brush preset - as well as via the brush tool dialog box and the tiny arrow up top.
