How did you add your signature to the frame? I like the look of it. Can that be set as a photoshop action so it goes onto every image that I open in Photoshop?

How did you add your signature to the frame? I like the look of it.

Signed a blank sheet of paper with a black sharpie. Scanned it in with a flatbed scanner, boosted contrast, inverted, selected with the magic wand tool, cut and pasted to a new PS document with a transparent background. Next I built an action that pastes it onto my images in its own layer, and then I use the object move tool to position it where I want it.
Flatten and you're done.

Beautiful black and whites... I really love the second, the contrast, composition and the gradual shading on the ground... love it!!
