Yet another beautiful flower! Technical question: how do you do the black border and signature? Is it a photoshop thing? -- Seen in Blind Photographers (?)

Thanks Oberazzi... I'M PUTTING MY ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION HERE IN CASE ANYONE ELSE IS CURIOUS HOW TO DO THIS TOO. --------------- Yes in photoshop I choose background color (black in this case) then after I adjust my 'Image Size' under the "IMAGE" options, I go to the same area and do CANVAS SIZE. Make the canvas about 1" bigger than image and crop it to frame out your photo. On the signature, I first scanned in my siggie and saved at about 1" wide in Photoshop. Then I go to EDIT on the toolbar, then to DEFINE BRUSH A window will pop up to give your new brush whatever name you want and then hit OK You now have a new brush in your BRUSH TOOL section which shows up in your default brushes. Choose the brush, choose your color for the signature in your FOREGROUND color palette and then you just click once on your photo at 100% opacity or reduce opacity for a more sheer looking text. Once you save the new brush to your tools it will always be there. You can even adjust the size of the signature via the MASTER DIAMETER bar in the brush tool. Another way to make one is to do a transparent background with your image in black or white but it's not as handy as this one I made.
