Question
Hi, I wanted to know how I can create a watermark to put into my photos. I have a logo that is avaible in a word doc or jpeg format. Also, how would I be able to save the watermark so I can just paste it into each photo?

Answer
Hi Desiree,

The easiest way is to drag your jpg file on top of your photo and turn the layer blending mode to "overlay". This will create an embossed look to your photos.

To make this something that you can just paste in on each photo, you can turn your logo into a brush (Select the logo and go to Edit>Define Brush). Then you can just paint it over each one using an overlay brush mode (and a large size).

Otherwise, turn your jpg file into a .psd file on its own layer with the mode changed. Then you can just copy/paste or drag it onto each file.

Thanks

Kevin
