  • Layered logo into watermark

    Posted by Paolo Mugnaini on November 25, 2009 at 2:46 pm

    HI all,
    I have alyered logo that I have been trying to turn into a watermark.

    I am designing a look for a CCTV channel and I want the logo to turn into a watermark so I need to make a watermark of it to transition to.

    I have looked everywhere but have not found an answer. Lots of stuff on watermarks but not what I need.

    Can anyone please indicate the proper way?

    I also have the same logo in Illustrator but I am not too familiar with it and it’s a lot of layers.

    Thanks

    Paolo

    Couldn’t you just merge the layers, change its color profile to greyscale, lower the opacity to make it semi-transparent and save it in a file format that supports alpha channnels?

    Dave,

    I will try that. It makes sense, although is not really a watermark.

    Thanks

    Merge as needed.

    Apply BEvel Layer style… Lower Fill (not opacity)

    MAsk as needed

    Then make an alpha channel

    Hi!
    I need help.
    I am looking for directions on how to create an action to apply my logo on all of my photos at one time. I want to downsize them all for the web for clients to proof then at one time add my logo to them. I keep finding text logos instructions. I already have a logo saved as a psd so I am looking on how to create an action using my personal business logo and making an action to apply it all at one time??? Can anyone help? I am so frustrated that I am spending my time trying to figure it out and not upstairs with my family.
    I am sure I will hear about it! ; ) I did eat though! ; )
    Also Happy Thanksgiving!
    Someone please help me figure this out! ; )

    Thank you!!

    Christina

    You can use the Adobe Media Galler in bridge to watermark

    There are lots of actions and scripts on web.

    Search for Photoshop Watermark
