Draw Watermark Resolution For Free

How to make a watermark in 5 easy steps Open your logo, or make one with graphics and/or text. Create a transparent background for your watermark. Add the watermark image on top of a photo. Use the Fade slider to adjust the watermark's transparency.

Generally, a watermark should: Be small and monochromatic ? or have very little color.Be placed in a descreet area of the image that does not interfere with the view of the image, but will make it more difficult to remove or clone out. Have limited text.

To do this in Photoshop, go to Image > Resize > Canvas Size, and add the required white space. Then use the Text tool to add your details, or simply paste in your logo. Try to use small or muted writing to avoid a distracting burst of contrast at the fringe of your photo.

Start with a large canvas, like 1920x1080. With that, not only will it work digitally, but you can make the watermark at a high resolution so you can print it in a large size without pixelation, if necessary. Add your signature, text, or logo.

Don't make your watermark too small. It's much better to re-size scaling down than it is to scale up. If it's too small and you have to scale it up, you will lose clarity and quality. Anywhere between 500 and 1000 pixels wide will work for most image sizes.

The simplest way to tone down your watermark is to keep your logo compact, and set the opacity to below 50% ? look under the Layers palette in Photoshop for the relevant slider. This allows some of the underlying image to seep through, while maintaining a clear mark.

Be small and monochromatic ? or have very little color. Large, colored watermarks, detract from the image as they can compete with the subject too much. Be placed in a descreet area of the image that does not interfere with the view of the image, but will make it more difficult to remove or clone out. Have limited text.

Keeping your watermark in the corner with the opacity set to around 50% or less is a good idea. The most important thing to notice is that it looks professional. Watermarks distract when they're too bold, but also when they look shabby and as if they were made using Microsoft Paint.

Watermarks should be visible enough to provide adequate protection against image theft, but if they're too prominent they'll obscure too much of the image for it to be appreciated at all. Here, prominence is determined through a combination of frame coverage, opacity and style.
