Do you have any sort of design in mind?

[Phistar]

ummm not yet, i just wanted to figure out pretty much the basic on how to create one...

As far as I understand, you create a desired size transparent file. Then you create your logo and save it.

Then you can drag it in whatever image file you have.

worst teacher evaarrr!

• Open photoshop
• File ---> New
  • Present = 800x600 or whatever size you want.
  • Background Contents = Transparent
  • Press Ok
• Create your design/logo
• File --> Save

Now, open up the image you want the watermark to be placed in. Then drag the logo file layer into the image layer.

The watermark layer is might be much bigger than the image so it will take up a lot of room on the image. So to fix this, just resize the watermark layer and place it in the place of your liking.

Sorry, I suck I PS and this is the best I can do

Pete gave you the basic idea but it can be more complicated than that.....like if you want a real watermark then you have to change the color and blending options so that you will have clear lettering....which is usually called a watermark if you just want a logo on top of the pic then petes way is good but I would change the fill and opacity on that layer....
