tips on frames with signatures and titles

[Vicareyus]

I've downloaded Simple Borders v1.0 as suggested in a previous thread and it works well. Now, how do people put their signature block and/or title into the picture or the frame? Is their an easy way? It looks so good when people do this. Any tips appreciated.

You can setup an action (same as the border) if you want to use the same font in the same position everytime.

I have not done this yet but I beleive others have and it works well.

Basically you then would just need to run simple borders action and then Signature action and your done.

here is a qoute from MattK from another thread explaining how to setup an action.

OK! Let's set up an action! Open 1 image. Go to actions/new action. Give the action a useful name...ie, save for web. Click the record button at the bottm of the Action menu. Go to IMAGE/IMAGE SIZE and alter the size and resolution to your requirements/ go to file/save...and save the image in a new folder that you have created for holding the resized images. Stop recording by hitting the appropriate button bottom of the Action menu.
Now go to FILE/AUTOMATE/BATCH...select your action and select the appropriate folders. Set up a trial with 2 or 3 images just to make sure it works before you commit the action to your folder of 500.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you hit any snags and I'll try and get you over them.

I have my signature set up as a paint brush. I created the sig and then selected it and saved it as a brush preset. Anytime I want to add it to a pic I click on the paintbrush tool and then the preset menu, and there it is. The beauty of this method is that I can easily change the size or colour from pic to pic. I can see the sig as I move the brush around and drop it anywhere with one click. I can also alter the opacity of the sig at any time and this is something I do faily often as I don't want it to darw the eye from the image.

Interesting read that link.

I am going to go investigate this simple borders program as well.

Lots of great stuff around here.
