Make your Signature in the PSP Tube format.
It can be used to add your name to your graphics.
Open PSP. I'm using version 7.
Click on File, New. Wide 400, Height 200 Pixels. Background color Transparent. This is much bigger than we will need, but will Crop it later.
Click on the Text Icon (A) Click in about the middle of your new graphic. The Text Entry box will open. Type in your name. Choose any font that you want to use. Here I'm using Script MT Bold in the 16 Size. Click OK and your name will appear. Click on Layers, Delete. Your name will disappear, but will show up again in the next step.
Click on the Drop Shadow Icon. Settings Vertical 1, Horizontal 1, Opacity 100, Blur 0. Click OK. Fill color is black if you are going to using it on light colored backgrounds. Have the Fill color lighter if you will be using it on dark colors. (Make one of each)
Click on the Selection Icon. Make a Rectangle around your name. Click on the selection Image at the top on PSP. Click on Crop To Selection.
Click on File, Export, Picture Tube.
Type in your new Tube Name.
Click OK.
Placing your name on your graphic.
With your graphic the active window click on Layers, New Raster Layer, OK.
Click on the Picture Tube Icon. To see the list of the
choices of tubes you have click on the Toggle Tool Options Window Icon.
Click on your graphic, and your new tube name will appear. Since you placed it on your new layer, you can now use the Mover Tool to move you name around to place it. You can also rotate it if you wish. Click on the Rotate Icon. Settings Left 30*, All Layers Un-Checked.
Here
the rotation is 90* to the left.
