Watermarking
Please could someone tell me the easiest way to watermark a pic?
I want to write COPY right across the picture but not in thick bold, so they can still see the pic quite well but it spoils it.
It is for a class photo.
I have ps 7.

Just put the text on a new layer and then change the opacity 
Most watermarks look ugly and spoil the pic tho, so think about whether you really want it on their or not..

Watermarking is an accepted thing to do when people look at proofs
I just HATE it when folks post watermarked pics here

I prefer to see a photographers signature on an image rather than a watermark when hosting on the internet, but agree the situation Jols wants to use it for calls for a watermark as the image is a proof

I use a basic editing suite, "add text" then dilute the transparency, is it something like this you want? I could do it for you if you like?
