USING HAND-PAINTED FRAMES IN A MONTAGE

Adding a watermark

If you’re planning to display any of your images

online, you can help protect them from unauthorized

use by embedding a copyright or other watermark

into them, analogous to traditional watermarking on

paper In these instructions, you’ll create a copyright

shape with the Custom Shape tool, then save the

shape as a tool preset for use in any document

To embed a watermark into a file:

1 Choose the Custom Shape tool (U or Shift-U)

2 On the Options bar, do the following:

Click the Shape Layers button.

Click the Shape picker thumbnail, then click the

copyright symbol © (it’s in the default custom

shape preset library) Aor click a custom shape

that you’ve created for this purpose (see the

instructions on the following page)

Click the Style picker thumbnail, then click the

Default Style (None).

Click the Color swatch In the Color Picker,

choose white as the Foreground color, then

click OK

will appear on the Layers panel

shape layer to 0%

open the Layer Style dialog, then click Bevel

and style it as desired (To create the copyright

symbol, we typed Alt + 0169/Option-G.)

a name (we entered the same name as in our

watermark), then click OK

4. Delete the shape layer
