A great technique to use when you need to quickly get you name on something to start on your next project. First, create a new document that you want to be the average size of your stamp. Then, in whatever font, style, design, etc. you want, make your watermark. Then, go to "Edit >> Define Brush Preset..." and it will let you name the brush and viola, you have your watermark!

Scanlines are something you should never be without. They can always come in handy. Open a 1x2 document and pencil one pixel black. Go to "Edit >> Define Pattern" and there you go. There are different types of scanlines out there too, so don't be afraid to experiment.

The best place to save your PhotoShop brushes in in your default brushes folder. The location of this for CS2 should be: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Brushes. To load them into PhotoShop once there, go to your brushes palette, click the arrow-circle button, go to "Load Brushes..." and find the brush pack you wish to load.
