Playing with borders and signature

[F8&Bthere]

you may have occasionally seen my black f8photo border on posts to this forum, and I use LR2 Mogrify for that one to export directly from Lightroom. But I finally got around to trying that scan real signature to a PS brush thingy and tried it for the 1st time on a simple clean white border for a change. Do I need a thin black border to make it stand out from a white background like here or on Flickr? Should the sig be right on the photo instead of the slight overlap? Let me know what you think.

I like it very much. How do you make it a stamp? is it possible in Paint Shop Pro?

I also love the picture, btw.

I bet it is possible in PSP but we'd have to google around to find out how, I'm not familiar with that program. How I did it for Elements was scan the signature on plain paper into the computer as a tiff file, open it in elements, go to Edit > design brush, name it, and click OK. Now it's permanently in my default brush selection and all i do is select the brush tool and size it according to the image and click once where I want it and it stamps it on that spot. You can change size, colour, opacity as you desire. Pretty cool.

I constantly wish and other sites had a sort of mid gray background that would help set off a white border. As it is I find it difficult to separate. Having said that, It's a nice look I'm thinking

This is a lovely image and your signature looks fine the way it is!
