Description
Yay, my second tutorial!A few people have asked me how I do my watermarks. It's actually a really simple technique, but I tend to over-explain things. Really, once you have the brush or text made, it takes all of two seconds to stick a watermark on this way.
Anywho, enjoy. I hope it works for everyone, and if there are parts that are unclear I'll be glad to explain in more detail.

An excellent idea, didn't think to create a brush out of it, saves time instead of redrawing it.

Also, I was curious as to what text you used for the text watermark.

You're welcome! The loopy fancy text is 'Scriptina' if memory serves.

Thank you for making this tutoral its very helpful but im new to photoshop and im unsure how i would put it on my picture. I made my watermark and saved it as a brush already. Do you mind telling me? Thanks

What an excellent idea to make it as a brush...I am one of the copy and pasters but that is due to a program I use that does not have a brush option and luckily my ancient watermark design usually comes out okay in the end. Hopefully lots of people make use of this, I think watermarks are wonderful because they still show your personality and state that the piece is your's. Wonderful tutorial.

Having it as a brush is a handy shortcut, but at least it still works fine to copy-paste a watermark! And watermarks can actually be really nice and fun to design. I wanted to submit this as an alternative to the DA watermark as well as to just show a fun technique. Glad you like the tutorial!

Hehe! I find it's handier than trying to copy-paste a watermark image saved on another canvas. Plus, it's so much easier to mess with different colors and opacities using a brush.

It should work in GIMP, I would think. I haven't tried GIMP before, but it should work in any art program that supports transparency and layers.

It will work in Giimp. I've used Gimp before I got Photoshop and I used to watermark using it all the time.
