How To Make Animated Logo Online?

How can i make a custom logo/watermark for my pictures?

• hi guys! thanks for looking! well u see im starting to join the photography world. i just recently got the Adobe CS4 Master Collection i love it! but really i only use the paint shop n dont even know much about it. what i really wanna know how to do is how to make/create a custom logo/watermark for my pics. like those other photographers do? those custom logo/watermark that they put usually on the bottom corner of their arts. is there anyway i can do it on photoshop? i had tried doing it on paint but it doesnt work because of the white square box that acts as a background of the logo i made i tried doing/putting it on opaque over my pics but it has that messy shades of the white background around it... a friends told me that i need to buy a certain software for that. is that really true? if so do u guys have any idea what software? i mean very cheap software i can download? please help i really do need a user friendly tho... thanks in advance again guys!

• Answer:

  Scott Kelby's book Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers has a whole section in it about constructed watermarks. Very easy to follow directions. My book is at work or I would simply give you the instructions. However, if you are learning PS CS this is a great book to have. I found mine on line but have since seen it at Books A Million, Walden Books and Barnes and Noble. ** By the way, if you build a logo in Photoshop and want it to appear as an opaque image in other applications, you need to save it as a .png file. Make sure you build it on a transparent background canvas and when you are through, save as .png. It will import into other things such as pictures, etc. with no white background box. *** One other thing you can do in Photoshop is make a custom brush with your signature, etc and then all you have to do is select that brush and stamp it on your shots. Hope this helped.
