Dylan, there is another more flexible (in my opinion) way to create a watermark. After you create it and save it as you describe, you can import it as a brush. With such a brush you can put the watermark wherever you want, you can resize it, turn it and even color it in the Local Adjustments tab.
@@colinb8512 I usually create a tif file with my copyright information. To do that, I create a docx file using the fonts and style I like; then, I save the file and convert it to tif (there are several ways to do that, I usually convert the docx file to pdf in Word and then convert the pdf file to tif in PS Elements). Then import the tif file to PR2023; File/Manage Extras/Brush Shapes/Import To use the brush, go to Edit/Local/Paint with Color and select the color you like. Select the brush shape from the horizontal menu at the top of the page. I hope this helps. Enjoy.
Watermarking has obviously come a long way in Photo RAW in the past couple of versions. I created my own outside of Photo RAW a couple of years ago because I wanted more flexibility in designing one, which I've saved & import as a layer. I might now look at creating a new one inside Photo RAW
Thank you for showing this. I use your program everyday, but I use Coral Aftershot Pro 3 to do my watermarks. That program makes it about 80% faster then ON1 does. May want to look into that for ideas. Thanks again and ON1 is the best program around for photography. :)
Great tutorial. Can you ask the design team to allow us to drag and drop the watermark where we want it rather then using the offset sliders? I have trouble getting it precisely where I want it.
Newbie here, but I did as another youtuber showed and added the created watermark as a filter and could better see and move it around that way. After importing it as a filter I had to click the transform option on the left to make that movable box appear.
Thank you for the great tutorial. Could you please let me know how do you add the new font to the library after downloading the font from an external website. Thanks
@@Archmage88ttv There is no "Install' on the drop down menu (at least not on a Mac). What you ACTUALLY do is click on "open with'" and select "Font Book".
Yes! Ideally you would want your image/icon to be a white PNG. Bring that image into your layers pane and position/size into your photo. The Transform tool (V) is great for this. Cheers, Dylan
Thanks for this. I followed your instructions, but cannot get the text to insert with transparent background. It is always over a grey backdrop. How can I fix this?
Many thanks, Dylan - that made it very straightforward. One question: when I now edit photos, under layers I have a narrow bar with the filename. If I switch off the blue 'blob', I see (I think) the original canvas. Is this something I just live with, or can I hide it?
For some reason, I cannot get passed the bucket paint to add colour to the background. Its all greyed out, so no matter how much I click on the bucket, nothing happens. In fact everything is greyed out including text and everything on the left and right of the ON1 screen
thanks Dylan, great video. I have followed your instructions and the watermark is all good, however when I export a photo for instagram and chose a size of 1080 on the long edge and add the watermark, it appears pixelated, how should I change the logo to fix this ?
Dylan, I doubled the size of the canvas and changed the font and now all good. I did notice that you need to change the size of the watermark if you are exporting with different resolutions, just something to be aware of, just need to use different export presets
tried what you did. and did the same thing, but after its exported the placements is all wrong. photography logo is all the way on the right and the name is on the left
Good tip. I love On1 but despite having a top spec i9 with SSD and 8Gb NVidia graphics it still has a sticky cursor and laggy sliders. I've followed all the instructions from your excellent support team, including CUDA settings but it still lags. Every install of On1 (from 2020) on every computer I've had does this.... I assumed it must eventually be a feature of Logitech mice in the end.... But no, dozens of support tickets later it still has click-pause-wait-action. Sorry to moan, but that's my experience. I will, though, persevere
Sorry to hear this. We definitely want to improve this. Always good to check the video card drivers. If you're on Windows even though it says drivers up to date, it's still best to make sure you go to the Nvidia website to make 100% sure the drivers are current.
@@ON1Photo sticky/reluctant mouse was a 90s problem but has been part of On1 for several iterations. When it happened with LrC it was fixed with the next update. I love On1 but perpetually laggy performance does not encourage me. I bought Dell's highest spec PC in April, every other program simply flies. On1 was the only prog I loaded initially and it was laggy from the start on a brand new i9 XPS.... I simply don't believe its just me that can't drag a slider.
Good one Dylan! I have one question though, my own watermark, which I created long time ago with Photoshp, has a small owl as well ( I am a birding photographer ) How can I add an icon to the new watermark I build? Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching! Yes, you can - the easiest way would be to add the image (preferably a white PNG) into your layers pane and position into the scene. The Transform tool (V) is great for this. Cheers, Dylan
@@ON1Photo My layers stack did not show up, but I managed to find it via layers drop down at the top. But layers stack never showed up until I rebooted my computer, re-installed the program, and restarted the project -- two or three times.

This is a really good tutorial on this subject. I was wondering how to do it. So thanks for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this. I followed your instructions, but cannot get the text to insert with transparent background. It is always over a grey backdrop. How can I fix this?
Found the answer: On toolbar, the 3rd from the right, "Aa" dropdown. Scroll to bottom and deselect Color Fill.
Thank you for the nice tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!

I have problems adjusting the size of the watermark (100pt to 500pt).
Merci beaucoup Dylan, fort intéressant. j'aimerais pouvoir réaliser un filigrane vertical, aurais-tu quelques idées à ce sujet? Merci beaucoup.
Thank you Dylan for creating this video. I have downloaded the font, but it doesn't show up on choices. how do we add it to the On1
Try restarting the app?

how do you get to the paint bucket? mine does not show up. I wish you would explain the menues more and slow down a bit.
Its just below the layers stack.

You can just delete the layer.
