How to Use Photoshop 5.0 to Add a Watermark
A watermark is a small transparent image that you add to a digital photo or picture. The watermark can be any image, often in the form of copyright text or a logo, and is often used to display ownership or artist information to prevent image theft. You can use Photoshp 5.0 to create a watermark out of a small digital image, which can copyright and secure the original images you use in online galleries or on websites.
