How do you do the copyright symbol on the keyboard? I forgot :-)

 

 

Thanks.

<p>On a Mac, it's Option-G. On Windows, it's Alt-0169 (on the numeric keypad).</p>

<p>Or, in Windows: Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map. I just keep a shortcut to Character Map on my desktop.</p>

<p>Or...build a signature in PS (or whatever you use) save it...then when your done with an image open>select all>copy>...............Paste it in to your finished image..... The you can re-size it...etc.</p>

<p>Correct -- either build a signature common template in PS and paste from that or have ready access to the Character Map tool and paste those symbols using the PS Text tool (assuming you use Windows). The Alt-Numeric key sequences are hard to remember. © Papai.</p>

<p>Another way is to user MS Word or other word processor to create the symbols (In Word it's the Insert > Symbol... menu option) then copy it, then paste it into PS.</p>

<p>You can easily make a copyright brush.<br>

1. Open a new image in photoshop File>new. Make it about 4" wide by 2" high. Select the Type tool and click on this blank image with what you want the copyright to read {example © 2009 [your name]} <br>

2. a post above tells you which key to use to get the © symbol<br>

3. hide the background layer by clicking on the eyeball. Then select the Type layer, go to Select>Color Range move the fuzziness slider all the way to 200 and click OK (the type should have marching ants around it)<br>

4. Now make a custom brush Edit>Define Brush Preset. Enter a descriptive name (eg My Copyright 2009) and click OK<br>

5. To use the brush, just select the brush tool like always and select the cpyright brush from the brush menu. You can rezise using the [ and ] bracket keys, change its opacity, and color just like any other brush. And you just stamp it on your image where you want it</p>
