Is it an ordinary file like jpeg or PNG? If so you could open it in the Expert workspace and create a brush. From the menu choose:

Edit >> Define Brush

Give it a name E.G. My Watermark and save.

Then select the brush tool and from the pull-down list find your new  brush, usually at the bottom of the list.

You can then apply the watermark to images with a single click.

The beauty of creating a watermark brush is that you can adjust the size and opacity before applying it to individual images.

Anyone know how to remove the watermark added with Multi-files dialog?

YES!  Purchase the graphic!  Sometimes it really is that simple.

Glenn - Not sure what you mean by purchase the graphic.  I'm trying to remove a watermark.

It will work with jpeg but the image needs to be quite small for a brush. Try cropping.

I usually start with a new document:

File >> New >> Blank File >> OK

Its then possible to set dimensions and resolution for a logo and to choose transparent background. Using:

File >> Save for Web means you can choose PNG24 which maintains the transparency.

It's unclear what's correct about this set of instructions if the objective is to add a watermark to photos.  This answer doesn't explain how. It is short of so many steps that I don't know where to begin.  For me, the trail disappears with "Edit >> Define Brush. Give it a name E.G. My Watermark and save," after which it is impossible to know where to proceed.  This we call useless.  Respectfully always …

You can use the File>Process Multiple Files dialog to add a text watermark to multiple files.
