QUICK TOOLS TIPS

 

CREATING YOUR WATERMARK

 

I should say there are many tutorials for watermarks, but I always go back to this one.

 

Open an image 200 x 110

Select a nice clean font.  Set it to about size 20 or whatever size you want. Foreground null, background any colour as you will delete it.

Set the style as floating. 


Now type your text.  I used jayrdesigns.

If you look over at your layer palette you will see you have an active layer, it says floating selection, right click and delete.  You will still have marching ants around your text.

Go to Texture Effects/Emboss

RepeatGo back to your text and add a drop shadow. 1, 1, 30, 1

Repeat using -1/-1/30/1


Select None.

 

To crop your watermark, pick the selection tool.

Go to the  layer opaque, box, the one that is blue in the image below




You will notice when you click on this box, you will get marching ants close up to your signature.



Image/Crop to selection.

You can save it or export as a picture tube so it’s handy to put onto any work you create.
