Watermarks on Proofs


I was wondering if anyone knew how to put a watermark of some sort onto a proof in Photoshop cs... Or I guess I should say an easier way! I'd like to be able and save something and just "stamp" it on the proof... Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks in advance, Angie

  You have to create a brush. Make a new type (vector) layer, type in your copyright info, then go up to the brush palette, click on the little paper icon (that looks like the corner is folded down) and save it. That's it.

  Wow I never knew that! Thanks! Can I do it with something that isn't just plain text? My watermark is my logo.

  Angela -
Create your type (logo/watermark) with the text tool. If you look in your layers palette, you'll see that you have the type on it's own layer. Control (command if Mac) click on that layer, and that will select all non-transparent pixels. Switch to the brush tool. Now, click on the brush icon up top in the toolbar and that will give you a dropdown menu. (This is a place I'm sure you've changed your brush settings before, like hardness/softness, brush size). You'll see a very small little icon/button that looks like a page with the corner turned down. Click on that, and it will give you a pop up to name your new brush. That's it.

Danielle - Unless I'm grossly mistaken, you can only do this on vector layers (shapes, text, etc) not rasterized layers.
