Last updated: September 2018 Applicability: Office 2019, 2016,2013,2010; Windows and MAC OSX Few weeks ago we received a note from a reader: Every quarter, our team creates handouts for management meetings. The process of developing the handouts is pretty elaborated and requires to collaborate in development a series of workbooks, presentations and documents. In order to clearly determine the status of those documents we wanted to use watermarks. Can you shed light about how to use watermarks, either textual (plain or smart texts) or graphical (pictures from our computers and the web). Thanks for the question. In this post you will learn how to insert or embed watermarks in Office 2016 applications like PowerPoint and Excel (you could potentially use similar techniques in Word and Visio). Note that you can use the same procedure in order to either add or remove a watermark.

In general there is a lot of debate whether or not to add a watermark to images. This article isn’t going to discuss the pros and cons of watermarking your images.
Instead, I will demonstrate a step-by-step tutorial using the Custom Tool in Photoshop. Whether you upload your images to the various social media platforms, or you want to send a client a high resolution image for proofing. This easy tutorial will show you how to create your own watermark using the custom tool in Photoshop. For a while, my method was opening an image file where I had my own custom copyright information on a text layer.
So that I could easily drag and drop this text layer onto a new image. This made more sense and took less time to add a watermark image rather than creating it every time.
That is until one day, I couldn’t find the file! Here are my four easy to follow steps to creating your own custom watermark using the Custom Tool in Photoshop. I prefer to use a custom shape over a custom brush. Shapes are vectors which means they scale up or down without losing quality.
Step 1 – Create a new document Open Photoshop and create a new document. Make it 1000 pixels wide, by 300 pixels high.
Custom shapes will always appear at the bottom in the presets library. Now press and hold the Shift key, click and drag the watermark shape across your image. The Shift key ensures the shape remains in proportion. Don’t worry about the size just yet. Place it in position – in this case, I placed the watermark bottom right.

You can choose whatever color you want here. Reducing the opacity allows for your watermark to be more discreet. I now want to reduce the size of the watermark. Go up to the Edit menu and choose Free Transform Path (Cmd+T on a Mac). Holding down the Shift and Alt keys, drag any of the corners of the transform handles in towards the centre.
This reduces the size while keeping the aspect in proportion. Press Enter or the Commit Transform button up in the Options Bar. Go up to File and Save for the Web. Apply to high res images for proofing Okay, so let’s say you want to send a higher resolution image to a client. Open up the image. Click on the Custom Shape Tool (Shift+U). The watermark shape is already selected, so hold the Shift key and click and drag right across the image.
Leave the color as it is. This watermark is going to be transparent. Click on the Add a Layer Style icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel and select Bevel and Emboss. The Layer Style dialog box appears. Increase the size to 8 pixels and change the direction to down.
