Watermark action for Photoshop

Here's the action I use for making watermarks. It gives you a few different styles to pick from, and it's pretty easy to change the font size, move it around, or tweak it to your taste.

When you run the action, it ends up as a highlighted block of text that you change to say whatever you want. Making a copyright symbol is easy — apple-G on a Mac, and (I think) ctrl-alt-C on a PC.

Speaking of copyrights, a site worth reading is Carolyn Wright's Photo Attorney blog. Photography-related legal issues are discussed. If you've ever wondered what your rights are as a photographer in specific situations, Carolyn's site is great. And if you email her with a question, she'll get back to you pretty quickly. I check her site out about once a month to catch up.
