Tutorial: How to make a watermark brush

1) Choose FILE>New from the menu and make the image size 2500x2000

2) Make a new transparent layer.

3) On your layer palette on the background layer right click and choose delete.

4) copy your logo or type your text on the transparent layer using black (if you use text you'll need to do a LAYER>RASTERIZE>TEXT.

5) choose the rectangular marquee tool (the dotted square) and select the logo/text

6) choose EDIT>DEFINE BRUSH PRESET

7) choose EDIT>PRESET MANAGER, click on your logo to highlight it and click on the save set option and label it logo and save.

8) open your photo you want to watermark and choose the brush from the brush palette and watermark your photo changing the size to whatever size you wish and the opacity to whatever suits you. I like to use black at 7% or white at 13%.
