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.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
