Yes.  Do you mean as a watermark, or as IPTC/XMP metadata?

And, what OS platform are you running on?

If you put any text at all into the IPTC Copyright field, then it will show up in Photoshop as copyrighted.  To enter a copyright symbol (if you want the actual character) you type Option-G.

Photo Mechanic can put text-only watermarks on images that you process through Photo Mechanic, like in Save As and FTP As, or Upload to PhotoShelter, and in HTML exporting and Printing proofs.
