Photoshop Watermark Tutorial

Step 1:

Open a 300x300 transparent layer in Photoshop.


Step 2:

Type/insert your text, nick or logo to use as your watermark.
The font I have used is Scriptin.


Step 3:

Go to File > define pattern. Save your pattern as any name you wish.



Your custom watermark is already made! The Upcoming steps are just about how to use it with your projects.

Step 4:

Open a random file, or you can use the file I have used .
The file is copyright protected, so no using it elsewhere =).


After choosing our file, we will insert our pattern which we just made.
Illustration is shown below.

 

Step 5:

Click on 'Pattern' and apply your pattern . You will have to choose your pattern from the different patterns there. The one you have created will probably be the last one listed.

 

Step 6:

Reduce the opacity to make it look milder/smoother. It's up to you as to how much you would like to reduce the opacity as it depends on your personal taste. I have reduced it to 22%.


The finished file:
