Browsing and reading this I'm reminded of my problem
w/signature brush. Several
years ago, I made a brush by signing my name in black ink
onto a white paper and
scanning that paper. I use it unobtrusively in bottom right
corner when I print photos
to frame for gallery showings. The problem is this: I
can't remember how I made the
background transparent. I have about 12 sig brushes which
are no good because
with all of them, I used an eraser to get the white
background off -- messy. I know there is
a good method of doing this -- I did it years ago -- but
I've tried many times over many
months, and can't recall how I made the signature black with
transparent background.
Does my question make sense? How is that done? (The brush
I made successfully
has my name with 2008, and I just erase the date every time
I use it, but I'd like to
know how to do it again and do it right.)
