How To Add Copyright & Watermark on Photos with Photoshop Emboss Tool

Photoshop is a great software you can use to put a copyright logo or wordings on your product photos. Putting a copyright on your photos is one of the most common method to protect your images online. I use the embossing tool in PhotoShop to do it. Of course there are many ways to put a copyright or watermark on your photos, we will look at one at a time.

This simple Photoshop tutorial will show you how you can easily add transparent watermark and copyright onto your product photos before you list it for sales.

    Except don’t put your URL on it or you’ll be in breach of eBay’s links policy and get your listings pulled.
