If nothing else, this puts an extra barrier there that will make most people think twice before taking your image. - Making a custom brush: This is a simple technique that you can use to create a brush that basically stamps on your watermark. The good thing about it is that it allows you to change colours and opacity so that you can make the watermark work with whatever picture you’re adding it to.
- Create a new file with a transparent background.
- Type out your copyright information.
- Add a drop shadow and lower the opacity of the layer.
- Crop the picture so that there isn’t a lot of extra room around your copyright.
- Save the file as a brush.
- Use the brush to stamp your copyright over your picture, change the opacity or colour if you need to, then save as a new file and upload it to the internet however you want.

I am trying to do this in PSE 10. I know how to make the watermark, but am confused as to how to save it so I don't have to keep doing it over and over again. I follow you up until you say 'save the file as a brush'. Where do I do that? Under File-->save as??? And then, where do I find the 'brush' to stamp the pictures I want watermarked? (I am rather new to PSE 10) TIA
