Adding a Signature in Photoshop

If you’re going to display your photographs for public display or just want to indicate that you took the photo. You can add a signature to your photos using Photoshop.

signature.jpgTo use your actual signature and not generic text you will need to import a picture of your signature using a scanner or digital camera, preferably on a white background. For security purposes, I am simply using a saved picture with generic text for this example.

Once your signature is scanned, go to Edit –> Define Brush Preset. This creates a new brush that is based on your signature. Enter the title you want to call your new signature brush and hit OK.

Now if you go to the brush tool and scroll through all your brushes, at the bottom will be your signature brush. Select the new brush and you can now click once on your photo to stamp your signature. The great thing about this is that it’s easy to change the size and colour of your signature to best fit your photograph with minimum hassles.
