Creating a watermark on pictures...

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

select inverse is the trick
when you remove the white background,
you go to those gray and white squares and use magic wand to click
then on those gray and white squares you do a right click
then there is an option called "select inverse"
after that you will have the doted line around your logo
and that should be the whole logo.

Maybe thats my problem. I can't get those grey/white squares

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

Step1
on your logo, you duplicate layer and delete the locked layer


step2
you lick on the magic wand and click on the white background


then it will look like this once you hit the delete button



step 4
right click on the gray and white square. select inverse



step 5
image > adjustments > black & white...



then use ctrl + C to copy the logo and paste it on the new photo
and change those two options to 60%



final product




so hows that baby steps for you?

+1rep work huh?

Killer!!!!

You completely rock!

Now, is there a way to keep this on file, so I don't have to go through all these steps again for every picture? Kind of like a copy then paste sort of thing?

yup save the logo in the photoshop .psd
then you can just move the layer everytime you need it.

OK, got it all perfect, just the way I want it.....except the size of the logo.

While the logo is placed in with the picture, how do you resize the logo itself, without resizing the pictures at the same time?

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

it is on different layer so you should have no problem with the moving tool
you click on the logo there should be some tab for your to drag.
but the bigger you make them, the worse quality it will be...

for me i like the size of the logo...
it is just right.
you don want to be too big and get attention from the pic.
because the pic is what get you your business not the logo.

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

Well, I have the logo image the same size when I drag it over to the vehicle picture. Sometimes it's the perfect size, and other times it's way too small, or way to big. Is there a way to resize the logo only while it's in the vehicle picture? I can't see a tab to make it larger or smaller.

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

that is because of the pixel of the car photo.
well after you select inverse.
then you change from magic wand to moving tool, by clicking the moving tool button
then you should see the tabs.

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

I select the moving tool, and still don't see any way to resize the logo. Is there something I should deselect first? Something that would not allow me to resize the logo?

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

are you on the right layer?

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

Re: Creating a watermark on pictures...

I can move the logo around, andywhere I want inside the picture itself. But I can not resize the logo.
