Hi I was recently viewing a photo hanging in a hotel and noticed that the signature font was unique. The name was written but somehow you saw the picture through the lettering. As if the letters between the edges were see through. If anyone comprehends what I am saying...I was wondering what font might have been used.
It easy to do in photoshop by setting the opacity when you create your signature stamp. Not unlike a watermark... Actually just like a watermark.
Thgat new to me Daniel , how do you do it ?
After you create a signature in photoshop, save it as a brush. When you are ready to sign a photo, create a new layer, on this new layer use your brush signature. Where you click, you will leave your signature. Then you will be able to use most of the tools available in PS, i.e. resize, or rotate, or change color etc. Your question: After you place the signature on the photo on a new layer, you can also change the layer opacity of just your signature. You do this in the layer palette. For a complete discussion/tutorial on this visit
www.digitalphotopro.com a blog by David Ziser, search the archives. I think the link is correct, if not just google either name.
E,
I had the same question. I think I've figured it out, but I'm not done working on it yet. Here are some examples of what I have so far. I am using Photoshop. If you have Photoshop maybe I can help you.
Let me know if you are interested. :-)

They have several fonts and you can vary the intensity of the signature with a simple slider bar. I keep mine around 50%. Also you can set the size of you signature.
Copyright symbol is easy to apply too.

thank you all. phyliss, i will try to explain again:) i think it would be called bubble letters. therefore you see the outline of the letters but the
inside parts are open showing the background of the picture.
Letters from any font included with PS or PSE can be made transparent by choosing a suitable Blend Mode, particularly if the type is colored 50% gray. However, for different effects, try different colors and vary the blend modes to see what you get. You may waste an afternoon, but some of what you produce may be interesting. BOL.

I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I think I prefer signing your work by hand. Somehow it seems more authentic that way, at least it does to me.
kenny i agree. but was wondering how the bubble letters were done as i had never seen such an option
I can not help but notice that the edge of the river in "August Reflections" is not level. Suggest you straighten this as it is a bit distracting. This can be done easily in almost any photo manipulating software.

I agree - I used my Wacom tablet to create a brush with my own signature.
I signed a piece of white paper with a maker and then scanned it. I brought it up in Photoshop, erased the white background, and saved it as a brush. Now I have my signature as a brush. It was fairly easy to do, even I did it! Here is a link to a tutorial that I found, it's how I learned and did it.
