Adding Watermarks in Photoshop CS5

I often get asked how to add a watermark to images in Photoshop using a pre-saved template, that can be loaded into CS5 and modified.

There are many methods to do this, but here is my prefered method.

Needed...
PS-CS5

1) 1 Image to watermark. *.JPG ect
2) 1 Logo to use as a template. *.PSD (saved as a transparent layer)
3) Your imagination..

ps.. for all you keyboard wiz's out there... heres 2 great links...

The video is very helpful, but how do you save your new picture with your watermark on it? When I save mine, the hole page saves, not just the picture. So I have the picture as well as all the side tools and stuff. Help!

Normally just merge all layers and click SAVE... :)

Sounds like you are somehow capturing the screen by pressing PTRSC-SYSRQ (Print screen) and pasting that.
