Ever wanted to add your signature as an artist to the corner of a photograph? Well, it's easy to create a Custom Shape in Photoshop for your signature using whatever font you prefer. This same technique will work for adding a copyright, a watermark, etc.

Mitch walks you through the steps for creating a signature that is reusable and resizable. Then he goes further and demonstrates how to embellish the signature by rotating it and giving it a classy, embossed appearance.

Re. Signature movie

Glad you enjoyed it.

I intend to do a second movie, probably tomorrow evening I'll get it up.

It will show how to create a signature as a custom brush. I prefer using a preset, but the brush technique is helpful when you scan a signature or a logo.

Thanks for the comment, Jim.

Cheers,

Mitch
