I have been trying to figure a watermark out for quite a while. I figured it was this really secret unattainable thing that only the professional photographers knew how to use. Well turns out!!! I"M GOING PRO!
I have finally discovered how to make a watermark for photos. Smugmug was helpful in guiding me.
-First you open a blank document in Photoshop. Before you press ok to open you must pick the correct dimensions for the document, then you must make sure the layer is set on transparent.
- Secondly you add a text box onto a new layer on your transparent document.
- Next you choose your font.
-Finally you type out what you would like your watermark to be and change the opacity.
I was always making it harder than it really was. Oh the things we could do if we didn't defeat ourselves before we began.
Below is my watermark that I came up with. Who knows it might change but now that I know how to make it I can change it to whatever I would like.
*My font came from a free download. Downloading free fonts is another new experience for me. It was quite exciting! I found my fonts at:

LESSON OF THE DAY: Don't defeat your ventures before you start, it tends to be three thousand times easier than one would have expected.
