Sorry for the very rushed version of this: Here goes...
If you haven't already set up a logo or symbol for watermarking that's okay, we'll simply use type. If you have a logo for watermarking, then use it instead of the type. For most photos you will want the watermark to work in both light and dark situations, yet still have an amount of transparency so it allows the photo to be viewed clearly. So, we'll have to introduce some white and some black. Additionally, we recommend a sans serif font to reduce the visual complexity of the mark.
Click new layer
Type in the watermark info as you wish it to appear.
Rasterize the type
Run the Emboss Filter, adjust settings to suite
Set the layer blending mode to "Hard Light" to let the image show through
This sets up the file and its attributes.
Choose: File > File Info
Key in the information you want attached to the file. Enter author's name, business name and insert your URL if you have one. For the sake of automation, don't insert any information that is pertinent to this specific file -- you want generic, company information only.
Be sure to enter the copyright notice (c) 2004 and your business name. Use the Copyright symbol key. Make sure you select the Copyright Status and set "Copyrighted Work"
Click Okay and the info is added to the file.
Flatten the file.
