Signatures and borders

Guys n' gals - How do I create a consistant signature in CS3 (like Daisy chains logo etc.) that I can just add to my photographs and maybe scale to appropriate size?

Also, how do people generally do their borders in CS3, some peoples are quite intricate with double borders etc.

Thanks

Re: Signatures and borders

Your second question is easy to answer use the canvas size option from the image menu and then choose the size, colour and placement to suit you artistic bent, assuming you have an artistic bent.

The first question is answered by saying you make a brush, will let someone with more expertise than I to tell you how.

...obviously it isn't easily apparent then!

Thanks, will have a look. Must have misinterpreted what brushes were!

Re: Signatures and borders

No a simple signature is not difficult, you just design what it is you want and save it as a brush. I am only not telling you because I have not done it myself but it is not a problem honest and I really must get round to it. Tell you what will have a go to day and then give you a blow by blow account, the only difficult bit is if you want to draw a design as part of it and your drawing ability on a PC is like mine not too accurate.

Re: Signatures and borders

mine is a brush also, though I tend not to use it too much as its done so much, I feel it can ruin a photo some times.

Re: Signatures and borders
