How to eSign a document: convert a handwritten signature into a graphic

hi this is marlon from photoshop shorts and today i'm going to show you how to make your signature digital with photoshop all right so let's get started first sign in a white piece of paper and take a photo or scan if possible once in photoshop go to crop tool [Music] and crop the signature [Music] go to channels select the red channel because it has the highest contrast between the signature and the paper go to image [Music] adjustments and curves hold the alt key or the option key on the keyboard and take the slider on the right to the left to the point where the details around the signature go away similarly hold the alt key or the option key and take the slider on the left to the right just to the point where you begin to see these black artifacts [Music] hit ok hold the ctrl or command and click on the thumbnail of the red channel this selects the white areas press ctrl or command shift i to invert the selection get back to layers you don't need this anymore so turn it off and create a solid color adjustment layer with whatever color you wish and here you have your digital signature on a transparent background you can save it as a png if you wish let's try to put the signature on the sample id [Music] and the great part is you can change the color of the signature to whatever you wish if you think this video helped you please consider to like and subscribe to my channel thanks for watching [Music]
