Signature Brush

What is it?

Hi Norma

I'm not sure if you have noticed. On some of the creations people have done, you will see thier signature or initials or something in the bottom corner.

Most, if not all have just created a brush to "sign" their work. One quick mouse click.. and all done. :)

Edit: Wendy did a mini tut on how to make a signature brush in the Wendy's minni tut thread.

Hi Norma ...

If you look in Wendy's Mini Tutorials (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3641) ... near the bottom of the list you will find a couple of tutorials on how to make them :)

Wow, that's great! I did notice some signatures. I'll have to check the tut out. Thanks.

Help on the tutorial. I did all the steps and named my brush. Now if I went to the preset manager and saw it there. So I then went to open a picture and try and find the signature. Now cant find it. what did I do wrong?

[Laura ross]

Never mind Wendy. I shut down and found it in untitled brushes. Then I was able to go into my picture. sorry I think I got it. Thanks

Hi Laura ...

So pleased that you managed to find it :) ... you could try saving it again and giving it a new name ...

Wendy, I found the tut and followed the steps and made the signature. It was at the bottom of the list. I used Preset Manager to save it to a brush list. But maybe there I made a mistake.

When I create a new layer above my image and select my signature brush (and you can see the outline of my signature before I do anything with it), when I stamp (and I'm not sure what you mean by stamp) it, all I get is a blob of the initials. It also says it was the impressionist brush. Did I save it wrong and that's why it's not coming out right?:confused: :confused:

Hi Norma ...

Yiou will have saved it OK but it sounds like when you came to use the signature brush you picked up the impressionist brush by mistake. Go to your tool bar .. and find the brush, you will see a little triangle at the bottom corner of the brush symbol in the tool bar. Click on that and select the paintbrush ... then try again :)

By stamp I mean just place the paintbrush where you want the signature to be and then click the mouse just once ..

To the rescue as usual! I found it and now it works. Thanks so much for the help.

Hi Norma ...

So glad that you have now sorted it out OK ... :)
