Let's see if I can do this easily for you.
1. Open a new, blank document with a white background.
2. Press CTRL+Shift+N for a new layer.
3. Create the watermark design you want. tI should be a clearly visibly design in black
.......3a If you chose just text, you have to rasterize the text before moving to the next step. You can rasterize the text by right-clicking on the layer, select Rasterize.
4. Once you are satisfied with your design, CTRL+left-click on the layer thumbnail (not on the area with the layer name!) If you clicked on the right portion, the entire design will be outlined by a marquee.
5. Click Edit>Define Brush Preset and give it a name.
6.. Click on the brush tool, then on the brush toolbar up top, select the brush type drop-down box. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you should see your new brush as the last one on the list.
7. On the brush tool bar, lower the Opactity to about 50% (you can adjust this to whatever looks good to you). You may also want to adjust the size so it works with whatever picture you want to watermark.
8. It is best, when watermarking a picture, to create a new layer first (CTRL+Shift+N) and use your brush on the new layer. A single click with the watermark brush and you are set. The new layer allows you to move the watermark around so you can situate it wherever works best. It also allows you to adjust the opacity on a per-image basis without having to either mess with the image itself or undo and try again each time you want to change.
Hope that is simple enough!
