how to create a watermark on your photos

Have you ever wondered how to add a watermark to your photos, well if you use photoshop it really is very easy to create and to add to your pics.

how to create a watermark in photoshop
  1. create a new custom file, I made it 600 x 50 pixels and make the background transparent
  2. use text tool to write your name, business etc
  3. go to save for web devices and then save as a PNG file
  4. go to edit, define brush preset and save your watermark as a brush
  5. open up an existing photo in photoshop and use the brush tool to stamp your watermark on your pic
and it's as simple as that!

have fun and please let me know what you think and if you'd like a few more photographic tutorials ♥

    Hey Cathie,

    Thanks for the photoshop tip. ^_^ I need to get myself a copy of photoshop and try this. I was wondering how you do it- my photographer friend helped me do it for some of my photos but I had no clue how she did it. Cheers! x

    You can also make the text translucent if you want to so it's not too obvious - you do this by changing the opacity of the text...

    Just another little tip ;)

Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish.

Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy.
