How To Add Embedded Copyright To An Image

Written by Anurag Bhateja on August 4, 2008 – 3:55 pm -

All photographers are aware of getting their images used over the internet. One of the recent case I saw is this http://flickr.com/photos/twilightfairy/2720464496/ . Now getting a copyright written on image will make it a bit safer. The easiest way is to write the name somewhere on the picture but to get it embedded you need to know a bit of photo editting softwares like Photoshop. Now after giving final touch to your image in photoshop follow the following steps to give a good � to your image.

1. From toolbox under text “Horizontal Type Mask Tool” or “Vertical Type Mask Tool”.

2. Click on the Image to write text. The screen will get red and you can the blinking cursor on the screen. Now write the phrase like “� Anurag Bhateja” (To get � press Alt+0169 (Numeric pad in normal keyboard and Alt+fn+mjo9 on laptop keyboard. mjo9 makes 0169 from numeric pad.)

3. Now click on move tool from tool box.You will see space selected in shape of text.

4. Now press ctrl+c or copy from edit menu. The press ctrl+v or paste from edit menu.

5. You will see a new layer there. Now to that layer click on “Add a layer style” >> “Bevel and emboss”. Settings to Style: emboss, Technique:smooth, depth:1000%, Size:0, soften:0. Press OK. If you want to give outer glow its a good choice also with bevel and emboss.

6. Upload to your favorite photo sharing site like flickr and enjoy.
