I created a signature Brush on CS3 and when opened a picture to apply it my cursor is no longer an arrow but my signature. I deleted the brush and still is there. I can't apply the signature neither that is why I delete it.
Please step by step help.
:thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

Don,

That seems to be what it should be doing, IF you have selected a tool that is brushlike - i.e. Brush. Erase, Clone, AND ave selected that brush style.

You can get away from it by selecting another brush style from the drop down and (most likely) scroll up to the top for the more traditional brush types.

If you deleted it from your hard drive, it is still loaded into Photoshop and will remain there until you reload another set of brushes or go back to the default ones.

If you want to get rid of it entirely, click on the brush drop-down, right click on that brush style and then select delete.

Thank you my friend.
I selected another brush and is now gone, I did right click and deleted. My question is why I was not able to apply the signature brush to the picture?

Don,

Not sure, you should be able to apply it just about anywhere.

Create a new blank layer, make sure Mode is Normal and Opacity and Flow are at 100% and that your foreground colour is something other than your blank layer - red, black, whatever and see what happens. If that works, try applying it directly on the Background layer.

John, I tried following Elements and CS3 Kelby books I also tried Top 100 simplified Tips and Tricks book I make the watermark with no problem with my eyes closed but can't get it to stick.

One click should make it stick. Whenever I can't see the signature after I stamp the brush it has always been operator error. Besides double checking the mode,opacity, and color also check that you have the size big enough and are on the normal brush as opposed to one of the nested ones-that has caught me a few times.
