I see people put there signatures on photos. Is this post production or what? I have a Canon XSI, can I do this to my photos?

yeah its with photoshop, gimp ect. the cameras themselves do not to it.

Yes, it is done in post production.

However, a digital image has metadata attached to it. Some of the software that came with your camera will let you add CMI information to that metadata at upload. (CMI = copyright management information) Metadata is not visible on the image.

A watermark or copyright statement (© 2010 Your Name Here) can be added with image editing software like Adobe® Photoshop® Elements or the open source software at GIMP.org.

Nikon cameras have a 'Comment' menu page where a copyright statement can be entered and added to the image metadata at shutter release.

Here's how I made mine:

1) Sign my name several times and pick one that I like the most
2) Take a photo of the paper with the signatures on it
3) Import the photo to Adobe Illustrator and traced over it and fixed the curves to match what I like the best
4) Transfer that file over the Adobe Photoshop CS4 and add the "Kyle Hess Photography" text, the curve below it, and a couple layer styles
5) DONE!

[bumpylemon]

kylehess, I love your signature. I'm with bumpylemon, wanna make one for me?

 

[JDRoth]

Agreed. I have a great idea for a signature I would love for you to make me!

Perhaps you guys should be less concerned with a signature and more concerned with getting feedback on images? A "signature" or watermark is not a prerequisite for taking photos. Especially since they can be removed in a matter of seconds with the Photoshop CS5.

i am more concerned about c&c. thats why i have photos out there for that purpose. just typing a 7 word 3 second sentence doesnt constitute as being concerned. i didnt make the thread lol. id like a new signature for the fact that i want to advertise on facebook to start a lil hobby with family and friends. a more professional looking signature is better than what i have now. in fact i would say that my sig takes away from the picture. i understand they can be removed. thats not my concern:thumbup:
