Here I chose a lavender color and full opacity just for illustrative purposes but you can choose any opacity or color that suits your image. Note that I’m in “Default Brushes” because that is where I want it saved to, you can choose any brush category you’d like. For instance, if you would like it saved in Default Brushes select your brush tool then select Default Brushes. Make sure you’re in the brush area that you would like the brush saved to. It’s important to have some opacity to define the brush. I created a new transparent layer, used a free April Ornaments brush (from Pixels & Ice Cream) and customized it a little to fit my taste. I chose four inches wide by three inches tall for this one.īE SURE to set the background to transparent! Step 3: I tend to go a little larger because I can always scale it back later however you can lose quality if you try to make it too large. Go to File -> New -> Blank File, or CTRL+N for PC users Step 2:ĭefine your width and height. This makes your watermark work like any other brush style – you can choose and adjust the color, opacity and effect all from the brush palette. Possibly my favorite tool in PSE8 is making my watermark an actual brush so I don’t have to go hunting for the watermark, dealing with placement, not being able to change colors.
