Follow these steps to make your own custom watermark. These screen shots are from PS CS2. If you have PS Elements, the steps are identical, though the screens look a bit different. The instructions are also the same for PC or Mac users. If you'd like further help or assistance, come and join in the discussions at Digital Grin's

Next step: Opacity. How prominent do you want your watermark to be? In the Layers Palette, you can experiment with opactiy of the watermark, try reducing it to 50% - it will look VERY LIGHT on screen, because this is a transparent document. Below you'll see examples at 100% and 50%. Make a few versions of your watermark, with different opacities, and see which one best suits you!
