Be grateful for some help with this please - trying to create watermark and failing miserably!
What I have in mind is ©p d but with the d on top of the p ....in black or dark grey....font size 36 or 45 is? Any tips most welcome!
I have PSE 14 and Lightroom and Word for Mac if that helps.

As a graphic designer by day, and photographer by night, I'd be happy to help with a custom logo/watermark. Send me a pm if you're interested.

I created a logo in Photoshop, deleted the background and
Saved it as a TIF file selecting preserve transparency. Then you can overlay, position and scale the logo on a new layer along with whatever opacity you choose before you flatten the image.

I use Photoshop Elements as a post production. I create my own "watermark" then save as a PNG file. I have done up several of them and when needed I pull the one I want to use and open it along with the picture I want watermarked and pull the watermark over to the picture. Using layers, I size then adjust with opacity and safe the finished product as a JPG file.

If you put your watermarks in brushes you do not have to make a layer or anything. Just grab it from brushes and put it on the image.

Thank you for the responses to my earlier que, but I still haven't found a free program to make a watermark signature to my photos. I am using Windows 8.1 (tried 10 but it was too sluggish with my Intel i5 and 8 mb). The thoughtful suggested sites weren't up to date with 8.1. When I get back to San Francisco I plan to get a disk version of Lightroom which should do the trick, but until next year I'd love to find a shareware watermark program.

Photo Scape, free and very functional. I have it and use it often.

I haven't read all answers. Someone may have already suggested Picture Shark. It marks as many pix as you want at one time. Easy to use if it still exists.

Yes - I have been using ones made in Phototshop for years.

Thanks Horseart. I had trouble with Picture Shark. It wouldn't put the watermak I created in Excel on my sample photo. I emailed the so called webmaster but never heard back.

Hey ...appreciate the input jimmya. I already loaded uMark yesterday and it's great, but I'm curious to take a peek at Photo Scape. Thank you.

Lightroom isn't a layer-based editor so I doubt it. If you want to go cheap, get Corel Paintshop Pro X7 which is a Photoshop clone for about $59. Put your photo on the base layer, scan your signature and put it on a second layer on top of the photo layer, set the color and opacity of your signature the way you like it, flatten or merge the two layers, and it's done.

UMark has a watermark program that has a free and a paid version. I used it until I got Lightroom and it worked great.

Yes Umark. Love it. :thumbup:
