Watermarking a Photograph

So I find myself needing to watermark photos, but I've never used Photoshop and have no idea how to do it.

I have access to Photoshop CS4. Can anyone explain in Photoshop n00b terms how to accomplish this?

I haven't worked with Photoshop in a while... certainly not since PS6.


This tutorial seemed to be fairly simplistic and straightforward:

Surely there's a simpler way. A program that automates it and does nothing else... that's what I'm thinking of.

It really depends on what kind of watermark you are looking for, however Adobe Publisher works great. We use it a lot at work for adding "DRAFT" watermarks to reports.

I use Adobe Lightroom with a plugin (LRS/Mogrify) which works great, can't say enough good things about lightroom for photography. The plugin itself actually uses an application called ImageMagick.

I'm new, or I'd post a link for you, but a quick google of "imagemagick watermark" will give you a page showing you what it can do. It's lightweight and free and it'll probably do what you need. I think a lot of other programs use it as their image manipulation engine.

You don't have to use any programs if you don't want to. It can be done right in Photoshop

Just add whatever text or watermark image you want, then go into filters and edit its transparency settings until you have the watermark effect you're after.

(those directions are from memory and in CS4 so the transparency settings might be somewhere else, just look for a couple mins and you'll find them pretty quick)

EDIT: I just realized this is a four month old thread, didn't mean to necro :P
