when i use ALT + 0169 i get a R instead of the C (both inside the circle) how do i change this?

i am using a laptop. holding the Fn key makes no difference.

thank you in advane

@ConsDaddy82 - not sure why you're getting the Registered Trademark symbol instead of the Copyright. ALT+0174 is usually the R symbol. Try that and see if it gives you the Copyright instread. You can Google "PC Alt Codes" to verify the numbers I gave you.

No matter what I do , I cannot get the copyright symbol up ???? options G or on my PC 0169 Nothing happens> Can you help I HAVE LAPTOPS So no numbers to the right??? HELP

[ajwood2001]

@DIGITALTIMECAPSULE - if you have a Mac laptop OPT+G should work just the same as a desktop. However, a PC laptop can be different. Because you need the numeric keypad on a PC, when using a laptop you also must us the "Fn" key. Look closely at your keyboard and you'll probably see some of the letter keys also have tiny numbers. The numbers should be the same color as the "Fn" key. On a PC desktop you hold CTRL then press "0169" in sequence. On a laptop you hold Fn+CTRL then press "0169".

Hi,very good tutorial! could you plz tell me how do I make a watermark to a PNG picture? I need to upload to my website. Thank you very much!

[ajwood2001]

@TiMQiN - you can use the technique shown in the video, and then choose File-->Save for Web to make the PNG file for your website.

If you're simply wanting to make a watermark & save it as a PNG file then make sure before you save the file as a PNG it has a transparent background.

[soundofmetal]

just an fyi for anyone who do not have the little numbers on the keyboard that shows the numeric pad, type "mjo9" while holding down the alt and Fn key at the same time.
