I wanted to make a new watermark with my name but cant seem to figure out how to make one with Paint Shop Pro X. I been using the ones that are provided. I wanted to use my name since I saw a few using my photos on their Facebook page. They don't give me photo credit so I figure at least I'll put my name on the photo. :D I wanted to do something like this:

(I wanted the "Photo" to be centered under my name)

Has anyone used Paint Shop Pro X to make a watermark?

Thanks

Are you wanting to do the watermark on the photo yourself, or have SM apply the watermark?

Either way I think the process would be much like you'd do it in any other paint program. Create a new layer that is transparent (or modify the background to be transparent), add a text layer, put white (or black) text on it, bring it to 50% opaque (or whatever suits you), and then export as a transparent PNG. SM handles those wonderfully.

Does that help any?
