Watermarking Art Print Photos.....

"Tutorial Post"
Yesterday I was on a quest to learn how to watermark the artwork I have posted in my Etsy Shop.  I Googled "How to create a Watermark" and found this wonderful tutorial showing you how to create a watermark brush in Photoshop:

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 and I was able to use the instructions in this video to create a watermark brush for my listed art prints.  AND, if I can do it .... ANYONE can do it!  I am a total Photoshop Dummy but I did it!  It's kinda like having an electronic rubber stamp you can use on your art print photos!  Super easy to create and use!  


Here is a copy of one of the prints I watermarked .....

Not bad for a PhotoShop dummy!  What do you think????

  1. I think it looks great. I've never used photoshop, but we all have to start somewhere don't we?

  2. To be honest, I have had PhotoShop Element 3.0 installed in my MAC forever, but could not get anyone to teach me how to use it and the manuals, well, forget that! I understand the word "Introduction" .... then it might as well be all Greek. I mainly use iPhoto for my pics. But PhotoShop came through for me this time! I'll have to mess around more to see what else I can do there! LOL! Thank You for your comment!
