I have a couple of questions.

[DeSanto]

First, I would like to know if there is anyway to add a watermark to
pictures, that will only show up only when the photo is printed. My husband
and I are starting a business out of our home, and have been talking with
several photographers. A few of them have asked us this question, and we
have not come up with anything yet. I have PS 7.0, and have found nothing
in it to help me. Any ideas?

Also, I was wondering how to go about making a composite for a photography
lab, that has the photos in the shape of the subjects name. For instance,
Billy will have 5 separate pictures, one in the shape of each letter in his
name. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

For the first question, I do not know but I sure would. I place my
name (and studio's name) in one corner of the image. If the client
really does not want that (and the times are very few), then I place
my name and notice on the border.

For the second, how about using text in mask mode. Use very big
letters, something wide like Cooper. Position it over the image layer
and copy. Then place that copy on a new image, each letter in its own
layer. That way, you can position the letters any way you want. Then
for the background, add some color and some texture (and whatever else
you want -- such as your studio's name) and you are done. For the
layers with the letters, you can use the blending options to get some
pretty cool effects.

Hope this helps.
