III. How to add signature in Photoshop
In Photoshop there is a tool called Clipping Mask that allows you to insert your signature on an image easily. To do this, you can follow these steps:
1. Select an image
To get started, you need to select the image that you want to insert the signature on. Photoshop does not limit the number of characters in the signature, however, to ensure aesthetics, as well as not affect the image content, it is best to limit the number of characters to the minimum, the shorter. the better.
Note: When choosing the color of the text, you can choose a color that is separate from the image or a color that is close to the background of the image so that your signature can blend in with the entire image.
2. Integrating images into text
Create a new Photoshop file from the File > New menu. You can choose any size and background color you want.
Paste the image you want to use into this file as a separate layer. You can find the photo on Google, right-click on it, select Copy Image, then press Ctrl + V to paste the image into Photoshop.
Next, you use the typing tool (shortcut T) to type the letter you want. To make the effect look more clear and beautiful, you should bold the text. If the characters are too thin, the effect will not be obvious and the work you create will not be beautiful.
Now that you have the two basic layers you need, the image layer and the text layer, it’s time to create the Clipping Mask.
First, you drag the image layer above the text layer, which means the text will be hidden below the image. Next, select the image layer and then choose the menu Layer > Create Clipping Mask.
If the text after dubbing, the image does not stand out from the background, you should add a stroke around it to make it stand out more.
To do this, select the text layer, click the fx button at the bottom and then choose Stroke. At the Layer Style dialog box, you choose the color, border size and finally click the OK button.
If the crop of the image is not suitable, select the image layer, select the Move tool (shortcut V) and then click and hold the mouse on the image to move it until it is satisfactory. In addition, you can resize the image you insert into the text at any time by using the Transform tool (Ctrl + T).
