Photoshop CS help??

[Columbus Photo]

I would like to create my digital signature watermark in CS and am not sure how. I have 2 books and neither one goes into it. I could probably figure it out but am not sure if its the "correct" way of doing it. Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction?
I'm still new to CS and all the gadgets.

Thanks

Before this topic gets moved I will reply and this is the same message I copied from another thread. Look under the Post Processing Section.



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.

I have a custom brush with my name and copyright on it. I stamp it in a new layer, sometimes I emboss the layer (it's an option on the layers palette, click the little right facing arrow), then I reduce the opacity of the later down to 20-50%. You make a custom bruch by just making what you want the copyright to look like, then going to the edit menu (I think it's the edit menu) and selecting the "define custom brush" option. Then you apply it using the brush tool - scroll to the bottom of the list when you hit the drop down arrow.

It's all in this book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735714118/qid=1104898472/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-0476584-5561537?v=glance&s=books&n=507846), along with a huge amount of other useful information.
