Inmemoriam Plugin Watermark Tutorial
Making a Visible Text Watermark with Photoshop CS2 V9.0
- Launch Photoshop. Create a new file using File > New from the menu across the top of the screen.
- Enter the dimensions of your watermark image. For the purposes of this tutorial, set the width to 200 pixels,
the height to 50 pixels and the resolution to 72dpi. Make sure the Background Contents option is Transparent. Click
Ok.
- Click on the Type Tool (the tool with the "T" on it.)
- The Type Tool options box should now appear towards the top of your screen. Select your preferred font settings
including size, color etc.
- Click on your image canvas in the vicinity that you want your type to appear. You can fine tune the positioning
later. A dot and a vertical cursor appears.
- Type some text. For example, type "Copyright © 2005". (Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and at the same time
type the numbers 0169 to get the "©" copyright symbol.)
- Click on the Mover tool (the tool with the arrow and a cross hair on it) to position your text as desired. Hover
over the text until an arrow cursor appears. Hold the mouse button down and drag the text into position.
- Save the image using File > Save For Web from the top menu. Choose the PNG-8 setting from the dropdown
list (this is the file type currently supported by Inmemoriam) and make sure the Transparency checkbox is ticked.
Click Save.
- You're finished! You're now ready to upload your newly created watermark image to the Inmemoriam Plugin.
See the Inmemoriam Plugin's Documentation for instructions on uploading a watermark image.
