Watermark Test

This is my experiment to make some watermarks in Photoshop in an attempt to make photos more theft resistant; though, Photoshop and I just don’t get along — so far anyway. I’ve mostly used other software to do my work, except the Camera Raw portion of PS.

This video helped get me going:

Various Watermarks Made in PS (unless noted)

Descriptions below each image

• • •

Original LR watermark I used

• • •

Transparent PS watermark is upper center

Shadow doesn’t seem strong enough, but is maxed.

Transparent text ‘Fill’ at 0%. White shadow at 100% opacity.

• • •

Watermark is lower right

50% noise added in “drop shadow.” I would think the text is supposed to be transparent with ‘fill’ at 0%, but it doesn’t appear transparent like it does above.

• • •

Similar to above, but slightly smaller and 25% noise

Drop shadow: Spread 48 & Size 210

• • •

Same as above but 13% noise

• • •

Same as above but 5% noise

The rectangle is the size of the canvas.

• • •

This one is just for fun, since it’s probably not hard to remove by the wizards

Same as above (5% noise), but red shadow &

Drop shadow: Spread 51 & Size 2

Shrinking the shadow seems to nullify the noise background

• • •

Same as above (5% noise), but brown shadow &

Drop shadow: Spread 42 & Size 250

• • •

Same as above but no noise

• • •

Same as above but 40% noise

• • •

Same as above but blue 40% noise

• • •

Different blue 40% noise

Drop shadow smaller, so more oval: Spread 29 & Size 76

• • •

Same as above, but larger canvas and different blue

• • •

Same as above, but color white

• • •

Phosphate font white shadow with noise

• • •

The following are Lightroom fonts

Phosphate font in LR at 15 opacity

• • •

Phosphate font in LR at 15 opacity – upper

• • •

Phosphate font in LR at 25 opacity – larger, center
