Go to filter, scroll to Digimarc, choose embed Watermark.

Below is probably the information you already read, but just in case here it is again:


You can add copyright information to Photoshop images and notify users that an image is copyright-protected via a digital watermark that uses Digimarc ImageBridge technology. The watermark—a digital code added as noise to the image—is virtually imperceptible to the human eye. The Digimarc watermark is durable in both digital and printed forms, surviving typical image edits and file format conversions.

Embedding a digital watermark in an image lets viewers obtain information about the creator of the image. This feature is particularly valuable to image creators who license their work to others. Copying an image with an embedded watermark also copies the watermark and any information associated with it.

For more detailed information on embedding Digimarc digital watermarks, refer to the Digimarc website at digimarc.com.

I usually use the text-tool and the shape tool for making a watermark at the top layer. Then choose transparancy for the watermark for that layer.

The whole point is that no one will stop people from copying stuff. But you can make it very hard for them, like I do. I actually picked a wallpaper from a game for my art, hehe pretty funny.

I use the "file info..." option to fill out copyright information. This has the nice effect that a little © appears next to the filename (in the tabs in photoshop)

Copyright is a legal concept and, therefore, you protect it via our legal system. That includes registering your work and suing folks (and it'll vary from country to country).

If you're asking about physical copy protection, there's a variety of technologies out there and none of them really will stop physical copying of your work if people really want to copy it.
