1. open new canvas,
transparent, 200 X 50 |
 |
2. Go to text tool
 ,
pick a fat font, I used ATNadianne-Bold, 9 pts, color white,
type the name you want to use, use the move tool
 to
center it. It will be hard to see but if you look closely, you
will see it.Go to Layer>Layer Style>Drop Shadow and apply these settings. Blend mode: Multiply, Black Opacity 100% Angle 120, Use global light checked Distance 3 px Spread 12% Size: 3 px Contour: first thumbnail Antialiased unchecked Noise 0% Layer knocks out drop shadow checked Do not merge. |

3. File>Save for Web,
this will save it as a transparent gif. Now you can use it whenever you want to watermark. When you need it, just open the gif, Select>All, Edit>Copy, paste onto item you want to watermark, it will apply as a new layer, now just play with the blend mode (where it says Screen in the screen shot) in your layer palette to find the best blend mode, normal is usually ok and so is difference, sometimes overlay or soft light is needed, all depending on the graphic. |
