Photo Image watermarks

Photo Image watermarks

Anyone recommend a program or other method to add a watermark to your
photo.  I have seen many of you have really professional looking
signatures in your photos and wanted to adapt the same technique.

In Photoshop...

With your picture open Hit D on your Keyboard (sets Colors to Black Foreground and White 
Background) 

Type your Text and size it and place it. Something like: ©2005 Bob Cain

Now go to the Layers Palette and set the Fill to 0 (zero) 

Go to Layers-Layer Style-Drop Shadow and set it to whatever you want. 

A nice Waterwark should be the result. 

You can write an action to do this.
