marke_gilbert Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Im trying to do a signature that looks as if it has been done with a fountainpen-- anybody have a method or general set of presets for something like this? I have been experimenting with a wacom tablet, and PS CS3, but nothing is evenclose to the look of an ink signature-- Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated...

steven_clark Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Write it on white paper, scan it in, then manipulate the scan and put it on a different layer with multiply blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominica_eriksen Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 You could try using Corel Painter if you have it ( or there's a free trial at corel.com). It creates painterly effects with various tools and pens, and does a very nice job mimicking all types of art media. You could create your signature there and export it to Photoshop. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emre Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 You can do it with Photoshop, but you need to enable nib pressure in the brush settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcward Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I took an ink fountain pen with a wide tip and signed my name a bunch of times on textured white paper. Took a digital photo, chose my favorite then moved it into PS where I produced a black signature on white, a black signature on transparent, and a white signature on black. I highlighted all parts of the signature with the magic wand tool and copy & pasted onto the various backgrounds. (The transparent background needs to be saved as a .psd document for transparent pasteing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
