Signature Layer I am wondering how I can create a signature in Photoshop CS3 using a wacom tablet that I can save and then use over and over by moving it into images. 1/5/2008 1:38:37 PM |

I think the easiest way would be to open a blank image and write your signature on a new, separate layer in it. And save it as a psd file so you can just open it when you need it and transfer the signature layer over.

You can also save your signature as a brush style then you can resize it according to the image you want to use it on.

I personally created a brush preset in Photoshop so all it takes for my signature to get on a picture is basically one click.

I think there are several ways to do this that are interesting, but handling it is much like the copyright solution I mentioned the other day (and much like Gregory suggests). 1. Create a new image at the size images normally come off your camera. Now, whenever you need a signature, you can open the image you want to sign, open your signature image, be sure both can be seen on screen (tile the images), hold down the Shift key and then click-and-drag the signature layer from the layers palette for the signature image to the image you want to apply the signature to. Having the separate image in a unique place on your hard drive will allow you to create an action that will open the image and apply it for you with one click. You can also do the application with scripting. If you do prints in specific sizes frequently, you may want to have several versions of your signature. Richard Lynch 1/8/2008 9:31:15 AM |

Why not just sign your name on a piece of paper, scan it in, save it either as a PNG (see through background) or Bitmap TIF - then you can place it into any file you want, change the opacity to suit - Voila !

If you are able to write a nice looking signature with a pen & tablet, you have a skill that eludes me. Check out this tutorial on making a signature at: http://www.digitalprotalk.com/DAZ%20Media/ Lesson%202%20-%20Signature%20Brush/ Signature%20Brush%20Lesson.html 1/9/2008 7:39:43 AM |

Roy, That's the way I do it (actually, write, scan, convert to vector so I can size)...but I was just answering the question. People sometimes have specifics in mind that they don't mention... Richard Lynch 1/9/2008 9:34:34 AM |

The website link in my previous response does not seem to function as it should. Probably because I pressed enter a couple times to make it fit in this box I'm typing into. This is a very good tutorial so I thought I would repost the link: http://www.digitalprotalk.com/DAZ%20Media/Lesson%202%20-%20Signature%20Brush/Signature%20Brush%20Lesson.html 1/9/2008 9:32:42 PM |
