How Do You Sign Your Photographs?
Do you sign the photograph itself, or the mat? If you sign the picture, do
you add your name and copyright information in Photoshop, or after the photo is printed? Thanks, SW |

Thanks, SW I hot-stamp the lower right hand corner in gold leaf. Additionally, since I use Kodak's Endura pro paper, the back is printed with a copyright legend. |

Thanks, SW I always recommend signing the art medium itself, never the mat since it may be separated from the print at some point in its life (reframing job or such) |

I think the Endura paper has the copyright protection built into the paper, too, that shuts down most newer printers. |

I sign the mount board - and - I dry mount.
The mount board is an integral part of the print. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Darkroom Automation: F-Stop Timers, Enlarging Meters http://www.darkroomautomation.com/index.htm n o lindan at ix dot netcom dot com |

Thanks, SW + if you want to sign all your pictures, I'd just scan a signature, save it, and then add as a layer in the corner of your pictures... since its a digital file now, you can also change the ink color, and of course size. |

: Do you sign the photograph itself, or the mat? If you sign the picture, do you add your name and copyright information in Photoshop, or after the photo is printed? Thanks, SW If it’s requested I sign the mat. I don't think my signature looks all that good on my photos. If I had a cool looking signature like Ansal Adams did, then I would sign my prints. I don’t think my signature enhances my photos so I only do it by request. I do put a copy right mark on the back of the print or if mounted on the mat were it will not show in normal viewing. My advice is to look at your prints signed and un-signed and see if ego aside does it look better or worse signed. John Passaneau |

Thanks, SW Most of my landscape prints are bought or hired mainly for hanging in office foyers and waiting areas. Recently I sold some to a Financial advisor who specifically refused to take delivery of any if they had my signature on them. http://www.weddingsnportraits.com.au...lio/print1.htm There seems to be a need amongst photographer's to have their "name up in lights" but I think many people only want to see the picture and believe a signature is defacing the work. They do after all buy them to look at. Perhaps a better idea is to insert a 6 pixel mark in your photos which will only show up when you know where it is and look under a loupe. Then you could stamp or sign the back of them with your identity information. This gives you copyright protection and advertising without offense. My wedding albums have no blatant advertising on them but the protective box they get delivered in is clearly marked as is the back of every photo and of course, the ID mark.

I could certainly use one. Until I took drafting in high school, I couldn't read my own writing if it was an hour old. It took hours of learning to print to make my handwriting sort of readable. Thank God for printers and computers. John Passaneau |
