Gingersnaps Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 now I know this is off topic...I went to make a watermark with your instructions and that's how I realised I was removed from the facebook group (first time I had enough time to sit down and do it). I'm just wondering if this can be turned into a watermark, ill find a tutorial somewhere, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 The tricky thing about all black watermarks is that they don't work well on dark backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Very easy to change it to white, or to any colour at all. Just hit Cmd Opt Shift 2 (plain 2, not F2) to get marching ants, then Cmd Shift I to invert the selection, then add a Solid Color layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingersnaps Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 I've been able to make the selection of the outline white but don't know how to make it transparent so I can use the outline along with text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Oh! Then you did do it right. You just shouldn't have chosen white as the color of the Solid Color layer. Also, you have to turn off the Background layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingersnaps Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 I was going to try and save it as an action, but I have never done that before so I might give that a go another time. thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingersnaps Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 yeah I read through that and it still seems very complicated for a novice , I've only uploaded a few photos onto facebook etc and only resizing I do is the long side to 2040 for facebook. ive never known how to resize properly otherwise.

Damien Symonds Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I know it looks complicated, but I've laid it out step by step, I'm sure you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingersnaps Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 I will try this again when I understand resizing a bit better. I gave it a go and I can sort of understand how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
