I love the fact that you suggest doing this as a brush. I used another tutorial that suggested creating it in Illustrator, but for some reason I was still finding edges that weren't smooth even when scaling it down. This produces beautiful results! Thank you.

I met Matt in January 2008 at a PS seminar in Cincinnati - my very first foray into the world of PS. And as a result of this seminar, I have become an admitted Photoshop-aholic. Thank you Matt for that eye-opening seminar; for everything you've taught us and for everything you will continue to educate us on in the world on LR and PS.

You are my favorite teacher by far. Thank you so much!

I can't believe ho easy this was. I love that because it is a brush I can easily change the color to suit every photo. You are amazing at clearly explaining things. Thank you.

Thank you. I did not realize you could change fonts like that so neat.

Matt, thank you so much for this 'in plain English' tutorial! I found this 4 years ago and had to go searching through my youtube history to find you again (I changed operating systems and consequently lost all my presets I'd previously made).

Wow the way you explain things smoothly helps so much. A lot of ppl speed through or dont have voice overs just more pointing. Thanks

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You are an excellent teacher. I look forward to trying your logo package. Thank you for the clear instruction. Great video!

Thanks for this! I've been using just a stock font in the corner of my pics for years. Now they look much better!

It's so nice to have the capability to do customization...and escape the basic watermark that Lightroom's export function offers.

That’s one of the best tutorials I’ve come most are usually a huge ego trip for the over excited presenter, but here Matt has given a highly informative solution to a useful I’ve saved this.... unlike most tutorials which I consign to the rubbish bin! 👍👍👍

Excellent tutorial. Thank you! You made it easy. The brush technique near the end was superb.

Hi Matt,
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Now I can add watermark to my photographs.

[drew_bryden]

Thanks for the quick and informative tutorial! One tip that might be helpful to someone is that Photoshop will not allow you to convert text to shape if it has a Faux Bold style for some reason. If the font you select has that style, it is turned on by default in the Character Palette. Reset the characters to "Standard Ligatures" and you are good to go for the conversion.

This teaches what it says it teaches and in a very simple way. Thank you

Fantastic video. Taught me so many new things about watermarks. I however would like to know how do I use this watermark (set as Brush preset in Photoshop) for images edited in Lightroom.
