Step 2, name your action. and here I make it name as “Watermark-Vertical”. because I want this watermark apply specially for vertical picture.
and you will see there is a new action created, and it will start record your action. Your Action Panel should have the record button Pressed.

Step 3, Now, create a new layer.

Step 4, In this new layer, start to create your watermark. You can insert text, create shape, make them transparent, add shadow, etc etc.
Just do whatever style of watermark you want, and all your step will be recored. if you wan to make copyright, proceed to File > File info, and fill the copyright information there.
