One of the most common ways to overlay a logo on an image is to use the Place or Paste option in Photoshop's graphics editor. Another, no less well-known method, is to overlay a logo on the photo, which was previously saved as a pattern.
Necessary
- - Photoshop program;
- - snapshot;
- - a file with a logo.
Instructions
Step 1
Load the photo you want to add the logo to into Photoshop. Use the Place option of the File menu to insert a logo over the image.
Step 2
The size of an object inserted on a new layer using the Place option can be adjusted to the dimensions of the lower layer without using additional commands. To reduce or enlarge the logo image, drag the corner of the frame that surrounds the image. Pressing the Enter key, apply the transformation.
Step 3
Turn on the Move Tool and move the logo to a place where it will not obscure the details of the image, while remaining clearly visible. Most often it is placed in the lower right corner of the picture along the bottom or right side.
Step 4
You can insert a logo into a photo by simply copying the image. To do this, you need to load both files into Photoshop. Select the contents of the document with the logo using the All option on the Select menu and copy it using the Copy option on the Edit menu. To overlay the copied image onto the photo, use the Paste option from the same menu.
Step 5
If the logo covers too much of the photo, reduce it using the Free Transform option of the Edit menu. You can apply the Scale option of the Transform group of the same menu.
Step 6
To overlay the logo in a pattern, you need to create a square selection around the logo image. This can be done with the Rectangular Marquee Tool. To make the selection square, not rectangular, hold down the Shift key. Use the Define Pattern option on the Edit menu to save the pattern.
Step 7
Pattern blending is an operation that cannot be applied to the background layer. Use the Layer from Background option in the New group of the Layer menu to make the photo open in Photoshop available for editing.
Step 8
Apply the Pattern Overlay option in the Layer Style group of the Layer menu. In the style settings window, open the pattern palette and select the most recent swatch. Looking at the photo, you should be able to notice that several copies of the logo have appeared on top of it, which you saved as a pattern.
Step 9
Adjust the Scale and Opacity parameters. With the first parameter, you can adjust the size and number of copies of the logo that is superimposed on the picture. The Opacity parameter will increase or decrease the opacity of the pattern.
Step 10
Save the snapshot with the Save As or Save for Web option on the File menu.
