How do you make the sign for pictures? I want it to be set so I dont need to redo it everytime I want my name on the picture.
Below are examples.

I just used Picnik on that water droplet, as well as most of my other pictures.

Check your software (picasa, picnik, paint shop, etc...) and look for watermark or add text.

My tag is hand-drawn using Adobe Ideas (iPad app). As for the placement, I use CS3. For most of my captures, I set the width of the tag at 300 pixels.

@sherriwear How did you put the C with circle around it (before the word "Coco")?

@calumpit Hey John, I'm not using the copyright symbol but I saw this in Picnik. You go to CREATE, then click on "Picnik symbols" (or something similar). you'll find it there.

On a PC you can hold down the Alt key and on the numeric pad type 0169 for the ©

I made my signature in photoshop where I do the majority of my editing, and saved it as a PS file. So when I do remember to add it, I just open to file and copy it to the new photo.

To make it in PS just open a new file in PS with a transparent background add your design and save it. Mine is just the embossed outline of a camera with my signature inside it.

Sometimes I just use the txt option if im being lazy, pick a font and write your name.. add the ©... resize it and fade the text layer down to make it transparent.

It looks a bit different to this once I turn it into a watermark but you get the basic idea.

@calumpit - The best way to find any symbols these days is to google it lol You can also open microsoft word and go Insert - Symbol to find the © and others

@calumpit hit the "alt + 0 + 1 + 6 + 9" in that order and it will place the copyright where your cursor is. Hope this helps.
