Adding Embossed Watermarks to Photos

2003-12-10 21:29:13

Greeting,
How do I add embossed watermarks to my photos? I want to add the copyright info on each pic...I am using Photoshop Elements 2.0..I have found the add copyright info but when I click OK...nothing happens... Do I have to down load a plug-in and if so where do I find one?
Thanks in advance...
Jerry

Jerry.

On a picture;
press the D key to default the colours;
then X to change foreground to white;
select the type tool;
type the text you want on one line, selecting font & size from the toolbar (for the © hold the Alt key and type 0169 on numberpad - cannot remember mac version of alt);
press the V key for the move tool and drag it to where you want it; select the layer styles palette, bevels and inner ridge is a good choice, but that is up to you; finally, change the blend mode of the text layer to multiply;

Hope that helps.

Paul

As an afterthought, you could, after you have saved your image, delete the background layer and save the text layer only as a .psd file, then drag onto your other images. You would only need to move it or resize the font using the text tool.

I found something that might interest you for your watermark.
