Create a Logo using your Signature
Vik, Iceland. Here I used my unique signature and website address.
Your Unique Photographs, Your Unique Branding
If you have spent a good deal of time on the internet, you’ve noticed that different photographers use different means of adding a watermark or brand to their images. Some use logos while others use signatures. And many use the most common method of utilizing the Type Tool in Photoshop to type in their name. But what if you want something that is uniquely yours and not something someone else has created for you?
Adding a Unique Signature to Your Photographs – a Video Tutorial
In this video, I show you the easiest way to create your own unique signature for any uploaded image. In addition, these signatures can be used for lab-printed images on products such as aluminum or face-mounted acrylics (many pens, even sharpies, can be wiped off using alcohol or acetate). Or maybe you are using a site such as Fine Art America that prints your work and ships it directly to the customer. For each of these situations, a permanent digital signature is a great solution.
In the first part of the video, I show you how to create a transparent .png file that can be used in any software program as well as in Smartphone apps that incorporate layers. In the second half of the video, I show you an easy way to use the brush tool to easily add as many watermark components as needed such as your logo, signature, and/or web address.
Follow along in this short video tutorial.
