If you want to add the copyright symbol in your text, rather than as a shape, then do the following:

select your text tool
then holding down the RIGHT alt key on your keyboard, type in on the NUMERIC KEYPAD (the rectangular keypad on the right side of your keyboard, NOT the numbers above the letters on the “regular” portion of your keyboard) “0169″ (sans quotes)
then release the alt key
This puts the copyright symbol in line with your text and it will resize along with your text if you change the text size.
You can still add the stroke, as Yanik explained above, but now it will stroke the copyright symbol AND the text all at the same time.

Hope this helps.

Hi Yanik,

Great tutorial! Is there a way to mass update a large number of images with a watermark, or copy the watermark and paste to other images? Or is the only option to edit each image individually through this process? Thanks!

Thanks for that Dano! I rarely use custom shapes so I wasn’t familiar with the top menu and the effects of the various options. I love learning new things!

Paul,

you should look at the options bar at the top and make sure that the square with the four anchor points at the corners are selected.

If you have any of the other two selected it will just add it to the existing layer.

The one with the pen tool will only add the path and the one with the square only will just add the shape to the existing layer.

Yanik,

thanks for your version of copyrighting our images
