If you’re like most people, you probably use Photoshop to create graphics and logos. But if you’re like me, you also use it to create watermarks. Watermarks are a great way to protect your work from being copied or shared without your permission. They can also help you identify your work on the web or in print. To create a watermark in Photoshop, follow these steps:
- Open Photoshop and click the File menu and select New File.
- In the New File dialog, enter a name for the file and click OK.
- In the Edit panel, click the Options button and then select Watermark from the list of options.
- In the Watermark dialog, set the following properties: a) Type: The type of watermark that will be created (image or text). You can choose between image or text formats. Image formats are more common because they’re easy to create and share online; text formats are less common but can be used if you want to include a specific language translation on your work (e.g., for an international website). If you choose text format, Photoshop will automatically generate a unique code for each file that contains your watermark information; this code can be found in the file’s metadata when you open it later (see below). If you choose image format, you’ll need to provide a filename for each image file that will be created; this filename must contain at least one character that identifies the type of watermark (image or text). b) Size: The size of the watermark in pixels (or points). c) Quality: How well-defined and clear the watermark will be (high = very clear, medium = somewhat clear, low = not very clear). d) Start Position: The position of the first pixel of each row/column in relation to other pixels in the file (x-axis is left-to-right while y-axis
