How Do I Digitally Sign My Photos?
- 1). Write your signature on a neutral-colored sheet of paper with a black pen.
- 2). Scan the signed sheet at a resolution of 300 dpi. Save the scanned file as a GIF, JPEG, TIFF file.
- 3). Import the scanned signature image into a photo editing program like Photoshop, Gimp, Paint or Illustrator. Eliminate the background with the eraser tool so that the new image will only contain your signature over a transparent background. Darken the signature with the drawing tool if you feel it is necessary.
- 4). Save the signature in the native file format and open an image that you would like to digitally sign.
- 5). Drag the photo signature file into the layers palette of the image you are signing. Adjust the size and positioning of the signature until your preferences are met.
- 6). Save the signed image file under a new name so that you have both the original and the signed image.
