I consider myself capable with PhotoShop, but I'm no artist! Trying to be an artist with a mouse makes it worse. Trying to be an artist with a wireless mouse whose batteries are running out just makes it stupid!!
But I'd be useless at it no matter what tools I had :lol:
So can any of you talented people out there knock me up a logo for the corner of my images? My company name is Pixels Studios. I'm just so fed up of trying I'm looking for an easy way out :(
Failing that, anyone got some vodka?
P.S. You won't belive how long it took to navigate to this page and write this message with this useless mouse! Grr!

go get a font from www.fontsnmore.com for free or one of the other million free font sites out there and use that... much easier and faster and less obtrusive then a graphic

Thanks for that :o
Was so stressed out by the mouse, I was ready to open the door and throw it as far as I could! Now I feel extremely lazy.
A semi-transparent font is exactly what I was after, so thanks muchly

I have worked and reworked my Copyright watermark to make it useful for copyright protection but not abtrusive.
Here is where I started and my current.
First Version: Just a Transparent Font with bevel and Emboss. Not Visible enough on some photos and too close to the edge.

Second Version: A transparent image, but still not perfect.

Third Revision which is a little more visible, and off the edges even more , harder to drop out.

Here are two tutorials, on how to make good watermarks. I have used both methods.
