Go to Russell Brownâs Tips and Techniques page and search for âDigital Watermark Brandingâ. Heâs got a video explaining how and a sample Action set to set up watermarks or other kinds of âbrandingâ labels. If youâd prefer a non-video tutorial, Sean Duggan has one in Layers magazine which details how to use custom shapes to add logos or watermarks, including how to batch process them.

If I am doing a lot of photos at once I use either Photoshops batch editor, or I use Photoscapes batch editor (Photoscape is free) May 25 09 12:13 pm Link i need the actual logo made, so that i can then just drop it onto my images in a new layer May 25 09 12:15 pm Link Lory wrote: Yup, CTRL+T if you need to resize it and the opacity is at the top of the layers window (I'm sure you already knew that tho ) May 25 09 12:24 pm Link We can do one for a fee...contact us if interested...

That way I don't have to take the extra few minutes to retype it, find the correct font, etc... May 26 09 03:41 pm Link |
