Photoshop question?
 

Okkkk I am wanting to create a fancy watermark with swirls as a background and text over the top in photoshop. I can't for the life of me figure out how I get swirls in there. Are there any photoshop gurus out there who can help me! I see all these beautiful watermarks and havent a clue how to make one!! Any help much appreciated.

watch this tutorial on how to create a watermark and then instead of using text as your background insert an image of a swirl (perhaps from a digi scraping kit or clip art on your computer) and adjust the opacity and bevel if you want.

Kurtis --
What a great turtorial. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

This is so fantastic....thank-you!

Quick question, where in photoshop do you find the little copyright icon?

hold down the 'ALT key' and press the numbers 0169 on your numberpad.

Kurtis~
Do you need to have photoshop 5.0 to use watermarks?
I have 3.0 and am not sure I want to spend more $$$.

nope, no need to upgrade - you could probably use 2.0 as all you need to do is adjust the opacity on layers. :)

I used 4.0 and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon as it works fine.

OMG - Kurtis, thank you so much for sharing this. You've made it very clear to understand.

Thanks so much! It is finally crystal clear.

OH cool...the alt 0169 works here too. :D Learn something everyday. � SO.... what if you don't have photoshop? :D

Oh you are wonderful....thank-you!

I have a question for you...I have added some fancy flourish type brushes to my PSE 5, but when I create a watermark with them all of the text is saved and not the flourish's...any idea what I am doing wrong? or not doing?

I did it!!! I did it!! woohoo all by myself too;)

So spill it...what did you do and how did you do it? And where did you get flourish brushes?

oh my! I spent all weekend online, searching and reading blogs and digital scrap sites all over the place!! I downloaded some freebies and installed them successfully and then had to learn how to use them.

I am brand new to photoshop elements so this was a huge deal for me

here is where I got them
