Judi, I don’t use Elements but in PS, it’s under edit - define brush preset.
To make a signature/logo brush in PS.
Open a new white document 1000X500 pixels at 240 ppi.
With the type tool at say 36pt in whatever font and style you like, the colour set to white type your signature. (You won’t see it, its white on white.)
Click the move tool.
Click on the “fx” icon at the bottom of the layers pallet. Click stroke. Set it to Size-3px, Position-outside, Blend-normal, Opacity-100%, Fill Type-Colour, Colour-Black…..OK.
Now you can see it move it to the centre, go to edit-transform-scale and with a finger on the shift key stretch it to fill the width of the document….OK.
Drag the background layer into the bin.
Now drop the fill slider to zero.
Now go to edit-define brush preset, and in the pop up, name it. OK.
Your brush is now ready to use, it will be the last one listed. It can be used like any brush one click at 100% opacity (lower opacity will make it fainter) will apply it at whatever size and colour you have set.
I mainly apply it on a new layer as this gives even more flexibility.
I hope this process will work in Elements.
If you want your written signature. Open ether by scan or photograph your signature, written on white paper into PS. Open in levels and make the paper max white and the signature max black, resize to 1000 pixels on the long side.
Then, edit - define brush preset - and in the pop up, name it. OK.
That is it, the brush is ready to use.
I think that’s it.
Rhodese.
