Are you afraid that someone will steal your beloved photomanips but you don't really want to put a watermark on your stuff because people will easily get rid of it? Then read on, for I have a way to make your watermarks nearly impossible to delete.
First off, open one of your PSD files you would like to watermark. Now, after you've selected the Type tool, click in the lower right-hand corner of the pic and start typing some text. It can say anything you want, here; Doesn't really matter what it says.
Now, after you've typed your text, duplicate the text layer as many times as you want (I usually only duplicate my text once or twice here). After you've duplicated the text layer however many times, select the FIRST text layer, go to Filter, Blur, Motion Blur
Make sure the Angle is exactly at 0 degrees, and set the Distance to 50 pixels. Now, this is usually not very visible so I'd suggest that you duplicate the text layer with the Motion Blur (once or twice is enough). You don't want to duplicate that layer too many times or the watermark will become difficult to read.
Here's an example of this that I did.
