How to make a signature

This is a tutorial about how to make a signature in paint shop pro,however you can also make it in Adobe Photo Shop, it is the same way if you know your tools well, it doesn't make a difference in what program you use. First open a new image within your program,click on your text tool, In Paint shop it will look like the letter "A" then click on your image and a box will come up where you can chose your color you want the text to be, make sure that it is big enough where you can see it, big bold letters are always better, click layers and merge all flatten. Next take your magic wand tool and click on the background, make sure the background color is white in your color pallet,this will select the background color, go to selections and invert, then take the scissors tool which will cut it then hit the tool that looks like a clip board ,it will paste as a new image on your background and make it transparent so you can use it anywhere and it will blend with where ever you use it. Next we are going to save this image as .psp be sure to name it so you can find it later, go to your animation program, open the image we were just working with in it, copy the first image and paste into the frame after and do this for each letter of your name on the signature, next take the flood fill tool,this will look like a paint bucket,select a color,fill in the first letter,then select another color and go to the next image filling in the second color and continue until you finish with the last letter, next go to the play animation button and it will play the animation so it flashes or blinks at you, you can then close out the animation and file save as your name.gif
