AC's Watermark Signature Actions -- Updates

by Adrienne Cleveland

1. Added action that creates a signature brush. After the brush has been created, you can use it to "paint" a signature of any color onto an image.

1. Made large signature larger.
2. Updated signature files to use CS format.

1. Watermarks now automatically appear on top of all layers in multi-layer images.

1. Added a "Resize or Reposition Signature" action, that will let you resize, move, or rotate the signature after adding it.
2. For clarity, named the WatermarkSignature layer.

1. Added preconfigured batch versions of the actions.

1. Changed the order of steps in the small and large actions, and added a step in the diagonal action, so if the user fails to open a signature file, the action does not unintentionally close the image itself. Instead, the error "The object 'Previous Document' is not currently available" will appear, and clicking "Cancel" will stop the action "gracefully."

1. Changed the small and large signature actions to place the signature in the lower-right corner instead of the middle of the image.

1. Removed steps that I had unchecked so they wouldn't run, but I hadn't removed. This doesn't change any functionality, but it removes confusion that might occur when you wonder why the steps are unchecked.
2. Added Copyright notice.

1. I edited the signature files to use anti-aliasing to make them look smoother.
   
   I decided not to change the version number for this change for two reasons:
   1. The action itself didn't change.
   2. It will be faster for you to change your own signature files than to get the new ones and edit them.
      
      To do the edit, follow the instructions on editing the text of your signature to open the file and highlight the text. After you double-click the "T" to highlight your text, look up at the top of the Photoshop window. You'll see two lowercase "a" characters. Choose "Smooth" from the drop-down list to the right of it. Then click the "T" again, and save the file.

1. Added history snapshots, so you can easily "undo" a signature.
