Photoshop Advice Auto On 8x10

[baseballfans]

Can someone show me using Photoshop cutting Card Signature And paste it on a 8x10 photo so it look like he actually signed it.

If the black ink not visible can we change the color of the autograph and make it more solid?

This is for custom card for 1998 Yankees project. Any input will be great from U guys.

Won't stand up to any particularly close scrutiny and the fact that the loop on the b in Irabu went onto the black makes location difficult, but it's the best I can do at 3:15am. Kind of looks like he just used a crap pen to do the signature.

Pretty good. What tool did u use to get it work? I use magic wand and didn't pick up the whole signature. And can we change the color of the auto ?

I would vectorize it in illustrator for best results.

rolie can U show me how to do so?

I would just use the pen tool to trace over the signature. I would use the stroke values to change the thickness of the pen.

Here's a video that Owen Wilson made:

Used PSP8, cut out autograph, optimised, used magic wand with tolerance at 26, then manually selected the parts that weren't picked up by the tool and pasted. Definitely could be improved on, though.
