Does anyone have one or know of one that is quick and easy to do/make?? I'd like to make an action out of it or something of the kind so it's easier to mark pics for my blog. I have googled and found a gajillion tuts but wanted to ask here before I strolled through the google universe of tuts. Thanks!!

If you want to make and easy watermark, you can just create a brush out of what you want to use (type your text, etc ... and hit "define brush" from your edit drop down). If you want it semi-transparent, use a shade of gray vs. black for your brush. HTH!

Yea, that's all I did too. I didn't make mine a brush, I saved it as a png file. So it's flattened, but still on the transparent background. When I'm editing pics I just drag and drop it over to my pic. If I need to make it stand out more I just use the color overlay option.

I've been using a free action (http://www.wearestorytellers.com/tales/showthread.php?t=1367) that Kathryn Wilson posted over @ WST in the photography forum. It was really easy to set up and it resizes your photo for the web, sharpens it & puts the watermark on. You can change the font type, size etc. and also move the watermark around on your photo.

no kidding.. the other day I put a 'watermark action' in my cart but talked myself out of it. I'm so glad I asked! :)
