Watermark Brush

Filed Under: Photography, Tutorials Tagged With: dustyn

Here is how to make a watermark brush.

First you make your design using black. Whether you just want words or a picture. If you want different shades in the brush use different opacity of black. Make sure you make it big enough. This one I made 389pxs you can always make the brush smaller when using it photoshop.

Go up to edit and define brush preset. 

Next you name your brush.

Edit your photos, then pick your brush {it will be at the very bottom}. Size the brush to your liking {shortcut is {} they make the brush smaller and bigger}. I sized this to 300px and 50% opacity with a white brush.

Right now Pure Photoshop Actions has a freebie action set for resizing, sharpening and watermarking. Make sure you grab it quickly before it is gone. I used it on this photo for Sew Sweet by Kayla. For their watermark action I ran the horizontal bar. I wrote out the naptimemomtog.com in black. Then I raterized the text layer and created a clipping mask. It made it look see thru. I think I like it. What do you think? I used Pure Photoshops Hazy Baby & Sunshine Baby on it. I just won a set of actions from them. Love them!

    Cool tutorial. Now I really need photoshop. I was thinking of photoshop elements because it is cheaper. Wondering if photoshop is worth the extra $.
    • NapTime MomTog says

      October 18, 2011 at 9:53 pm

      Thank you!I started off using Elements. It worked really well. There are some things that are easier in CS5, but elements is a great place to start.

It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
