I do enjoy the way you present the subject Matt. Since I don't have a Wacom I used the text tool in PS to create a "signature" and easily followed all the rest of the steps.Thanks
Once you've made your signature you can save it as a Brush and you will always have it, just choose brush, then your signature, then choose your color. Much easier than importing a file everytime you want to add a signature. Search making a logo into a brush and it's basically the same process.
I had to do a quick job, found you and you explained very easy and quickly. following you. great man. i like when people explain just what they have to and i dont need to watch a 50 minutes video
Hi Matt! I presume we could ever sign on a piece of paper and scan the same for use in PS? I guess we could also create a brush with the signature in Photoshop. We could change the brush to any colour we want.
Yeow! This is such a help! Thanks...I did get my signature from PhotoLogo & they did a wonderful job on mine, giving me my signature & the name of my 'cottage business' under my name. But until now, I didn't know how to apply it because I'm a PS illiterate! You're a saint!
Great info Matt! Thanks. Do you have a video on how to make a shortcut or quickly add the signature, or do I have to open the file for the signature each time? Thanks
Save it as png. Then when your ready to put use it, go to files,place embeded, go to where you saved it then double click, drag to whatever size then walllah.
Thanks for the video Matt, really interesting however, if someone wanted to steal your image as far as I can tell they can remove the signature. Can you somehow incorporate it into the image file to stop image theft? Thanks again
Hi Bryan. The only way to truly protect your photos from being stolen online is don't publish them online. If some one wants your photo, they'll get it no matter what. There's nothing you can do.
Hi Matt: just a FYI, the company you mentioned in your video about doing logos had been doing a lot of advertising on FB. I am a photographer and designer. Although my skills as a designer are very limited. However, after watching your video, I was able to download some free calligraphy fonts and had a go at designing a logo myself. Well sir, I was able to come up with some very cool designs. When I got my first logo for Photologo I was very under whelmed. It looks like they purchased the same fonts as I did. I am not happy with these folks. Only one example and it looks like it took them five minutes to do. And, the price of the logo is just not worth it. My advice, for me the next time, I will not work with these folks again. Nothing against you at all, just very underwhelmed for $90.00. As always Matt, you do an excellent job teaching. I have been following your dates at NAPP. Great work.
Hi Jon. This video is years old and I thought it was pretty cool when I created it. However, after I released it, and people started buying them, I saw the same thing as you. They all started to look the same. That's why I released a course on how to do it yourself: mattk.com/photographerlogo/ Thanks!
If I save the signature design, would I be able to use that file as watermark in lightroom? I'm not very PS proficient, but know my way around lightroom.
Really great tutorial! But I just have one question. If you've saved the signature as a JPEG, and "multiply" it onto the photo, is there a way to invert the colour of the writing without the background popping up again? Not sure if I'm explaining this good enough, but I'll give it a try.
It’s easier to scan your signature on white paper and save it as a photo. You can then import the photo, remove the white background and you’ve got your signature layer.
I have the signature part down but I want to add some text under the signature and copy it along with the signature to past into a photo and I can not get that to work. Is there a way to do that?
Create a new text layer. create your text, turn off background, merge visible, copy and paste. If you plan on doing the same text with the sig over time. Just create a brush preset. See my other comment on how to do that. much easier than doing this over and over for multiple photos.
After multiply my photo and then press command + i my background will change in black instead. How to solve this? ~rest of video and explanation are great!
I love this video, thanks so much!! Would you know how to create the photologo file into a brush in photoshop?? I did so with my previous logo, but like you i love the logo they created much better. Only problem is it wont allow a brush preset to be defined. So confused. Thank you in advance if you find this and have an answer for me.
I'm a complete & total idiot! There, I saved you the trouble of saying it...Tho' I know I am! I was just thrilled when I found your tutorial because woohoo, I do have my signature done by Photologo & I love it. I also do not have Lightroom but do have Photoshop Elements 13. I thought I had it made now for sure. The problem is I'm a photographer...I'm about as technically adept as a human can be. I've watched the video five times now & there doesn't seem to be one thing in your PS that I can find in mine? Is Elements 13 *that* much different than previous ones or I'm I not looking in the right places? Sorry to be such a pinhead but could you help me a little further here? I've already had a number of my bird photos stolen from me & I do need to put a signature on my work. Thanks for any help... ~Ginger
Matt, come on...You say open a blank page but you don't give any specifications, size, etc. also you jump around so much. If you are going to teach tutorials on youtube, you need to give progressive steps and details. This is not "Creative live" where you talk fast and leave out steps so people have to buy the video!!
I do enjoy the way you present the subject Matt. Since I don't have a Wacom I used the text tool in PS to create a "signature" and easily followed all the rest of the steps.Thanks
Me too

Thank you so much!!! This video is like a mash up of all other videos. This video answered all my questions :)
Thank you. Finally someone I can understand and relate to.
Thank you so much man! Using my signature in my edits make them look so much better. I smashed that subscribe button
Very appreciated, straight and quick .
I had to do a quick job, found you and you explained very easy and quickly. following you. great man. i like when people explain just what they have to and i dont need to watch a 50 minutes video
A big thank you from Seattle!

Great illustration!

Thank you, Matt. I've seen several variations on this process, but you made it the easiest to create.
Big help, thank you.
Thanks for the quick tutorial, very useful!
Excellent turorial
thanks for showing this - bless - what is the size of the box that you drew the signature in please?
That's what I'm trying to figure out also
Lovely!! Thank you so much
Awesome
Hello, what format you use because my signature i have to use transform but lose style
Save it as png. Then when your ready to put use it, go to files,place embeded, go to where you saved it then double click, drag to whatever size then walllah.
Thanks heaps, so easy to follow, and made me get the Wacom out and actually use it :)

I also got my signature done by Photologo and this helped me quickly get it placed. Thanks. :)

@@MattKloskowski I will diffidently give it a try.
If I save the signature design, would I be able to use that file as watermark in lightroom? I'm not very PS proficient, but know my way around lightroom.
I got mine. Thanks for the tip and the video.
Thanks! You have an awesome siggy!
how can i add to my signature like you've done under your singnature "Matt Kloskowski Photography"?
what if i wanted them to have other colors? not just in black and white?
We can use place embedded option in photoshop
just came across your youtube page, didnt like it!
, i LOVED it, great stuff!!
Thanks so much, easy to follow!
Oh, this helped me a lot. thank you
Really great tutorial!
But I just have one question. If you've saved the signature as a JPEG, and "multiply" it onto the photo, is there a way to invert the colour of the writing without the background popping up again? Not sure if I'm explaining this good enough, but I'll give it a try.
Hi Rebecca - yes. Press Ctrl or Cmd I to invert. Then change the blend mode to Screen instead of Multiply .
Nice one, thanks.
It’s easier to scan your signature on white paper and save it as a photo. You can then import the photo, remove the white background and you’ve got your signature layer.
How do you remove the white background?
Interesting... Merci Matt
Great tutorial. Thank you very much! Finally got mine :)

So do I do this every time I want to add my signature or can I I save it somehow
After multiply my photo and then press command + i my background will change in black instead. How to solve this? ~rest of video and explanation are great!
This is great. Thank you!!!
what size i need to open the new document?
Solid_Thank you!
Thanks - just what i needed :)
very cool, thanks!
I love this video, thanks so much!! Would you know how to create the photologo file into a brush in photoshop?? I did so with my previous logo, but like you i love the logo they created much better. Only problem is it wont allow a brush preset to be defined. So confused. Thank you in advance if you find this and have an answer for me.
I was about to ask the same thing. If you saved it as a brush, it seems it would save a few steps each time you had to do it.
It was helpful. Thanks
What is the file type of photo in this example?
Thank you! this is really helpful
You could also use the pen tool!
old vid and still very useful!
beauty !
would we be able to change the color later if its needed?
Yesenia Gonzale If u have the psd file as backup, then yes
wonderful Thank You!!!
how much is it cost? thanks - I hate my own signature too. totally need help from photologo-watermark
It's $39.00 USD
Kindly tell the font name applied on your name.
Thanks
what size
What size document?
Thank you!
I got mine!
HI! Who did the signature for you?
He says it at the beginning ....PhotoLogo: www.photologo.co/
font link plz give me
Whe I copy the signature in the picture I'm unable to move it?
Same thing happened to me. Were you able to sort it out?
subscribe!!!! DONE! Good luck on your great videos!
Wouldn't it be easier to create a brush out of your signature,?
What's the font?
Its a fookn brush tool!!!
I'm a complete & total idiot! There, I saved you the trouble of saying it...Tho' I know I am!

Thanks for any help...
~Ginger
font?
Great until you said drop it in , Unsure what to use after Select all & Copy Unsure how to drop into photo
Why not just make a signature Brush stamp?
I don't have photoshop?
Sigh. Don't mind me. Just me, Matt Makowski photography... stumbling on your signature... uhg...
Who is "They" that will send you signatures?
so basically.
buy a pen and a pad thing to do it
When I open a blank document it does show up white... it shows the invisible layer
So much easier to simply convert your signature to a brush that is always at hand and you don't need to do all this drama!
Who are THEY?
PhotoLogo
