Apply a Text Watermark to a Photo in Photoshop

You can easily apply a text watermark to a photo in Photoshop.

The trick is to write text on our photo using the Horizontal Type tool. Then please choose the font type and font color (usually black or white).

Finally, reduce text opacity by dragging the opacity slider to the left to give a semi-transparent effect.
