Do you have photos that need to be protected by copyright by adding a watermark to the image? Then let's sing started....

Creating a watermark in Photoshop: final example

Let's take a shot that needs editing. We are using this photo only to weigh the steps - it can be deleted later...

Now we need the Horizontal Type Tool and we type any name we like, I would suggest, for example, your website address.

Next, in the Layers menu, set the Melt value to 0%.

Don't worry if the text is not visible, we will be adding a stroke to it.

Let's move on...

Go to the blending options and check the boxes next to Drop Shadow and Outer Glow. You can choose the parameters for these options yourself, depending on the photo resolution, text font size, etc.

I did the following: set the default values for the shadow and in the Outer Glow tab set the color to white, Spread - 20%, Size - 3 px.

Now we need to add the final touch - remove the original photo: go to the background layer and click the Delete layer button in the same menu so that the size of our output file isn't too common...%) Save the file in PSD format - File-Save as.

So, we have created a watermark, but how do we prove it?

Open any file (you can use the same one as before ;)) by pressing Ctrl+O and go to the File-Place menu, then select the file we just created. This way we will place our watermark inside the open file.

Basically, that's the whole process. You can use the watermark on any image. You can even create an action with this sequence :)
