Great vid! Helped me a lot! Though I am having one problem, it wont add the watermark on top of black (I want to add it to a black and white photograph), I've tried changing the colour but still nothing. Any ideas? x

hmmm... in the lower right hand corner should be your color palate tool... click on the top box and make it white...also make sure your "opacity" on the top bar is...100%...or atleast to where you can see it. I hope that helps.

[GothicSpook]

Tried that. Still doesnt work :( x

hmm... try simplifying the layer you are working on.. also make sure the layer you are tying to watermark is selected and visible... I know that sounds like a no brainer...but I do that kind of crap all the time ...later Im kicking myself.

@Bundleboo

I have a question about the font you use, was that font included on PSE 7? Cause I have the same version and all but I only have boring average fonts xD

also, if you ever want to make part of a brush permanently opaque, make it a gray, instead of black. the lighter the gray, the lower the opacity.

just afew things:

1:04 if you simply click, instead of dragging and creating a box, it wont put the limit on the length. you could type a line as long as you want

2:42 if you CTRL (mac users: the apple key) + click on the layer you want to make a brush, it will select the outline of the letters, instead of a large square

If you are changing brushes, you can just right click on the document, and the brush selection window will pop up by your mouse (when brush tool is selected)
