There are two methods to place your information on to your images.
You can create a brush with your name, website or company details. Then you can click on one image at a time to add the watermark. Or you can batch process images to add a watermark.
Method 1 - Define Brush
You need to have an open image. So you must first create your watermark. Here are instructions for making a text watermark with a bevel.
Create a template using the editor:
File >> New >> Blank File
Set your dimensions and resolution of 72 and choose transparent for your background color.
Select the type tool and add your name or watermark information.
Choose the effects pallet and under styles find the bevels. Drag the one you cant on top of the text. The go to File >> Save For Web
Select file type PNG24 (that will preserve the transparency) and then save your file.
You can now use this file to make your brush.
Go to Edit >> Define Brush
After you have saved your new brush pre-set select the brush tool and scroll down to the bottom of the brush list. You can apply to photos with one click. It gives lots of flexibility for marking individual photos. You can easily re-size the watermark brush or quickly change the color as you wish.
Method 2 - Batch Process
You can batch process a whole folder of images, but make sure all are identical size.
1. Set up a new folder for your watermarked images
2. Open the Editort and click File >> Process Multiple Files
3. Choose the source folder containing your images
4. Choose your new destination folder for watermarked images
5. Under Labels, use the Caption/Watermark dropdown and select Watermark and type your watermark into the custom text field
6. Click OK and wait for PSE to process the files.
7. Go to your new folder to see the watermarked images.
N.B. It’s important to use separate source and destination folders otherwise you will destroy your originals by overwriting them with a permanent watermark.
