Signing your photo
Answered
I would like to know if there is an easy way to sign a photo before printing? Is this advisable?

There is an On1 video entitled "How to Create a Custom Watermark". Links here get the post removed but a quick browser search will find it.

Ray, you shouldn't have a problems with links to the ON1 stuff. It is Facebook links that get blocked for me.
David, here is the link to the video Ray mentioned.

"Is this advisable?"
Why would it not be, David? What's on your mind here?
Are you actually talking about applying a watermark, or some kind of digital signing?
I will say say that ON1's approach to "custom" (image-based) watermarks isn't great: if you apply any output sharpening at the Export stage, the watermark gets sharpened too (unlike similar functionality in any other RAW converters I've used - and I've used most) which can be more than enough to turn the watermark into an unusable, overworked mess.
When we create (say) a PNG file to use as a watermark, we create something that is already appropriately sharpened (or not - it's generally not necessary) in it's own right: to then apply additional - utterly unwanted - output sharpening to it is wrong-headed and - in my case at least - renders either the watermark tool, or output sharpening, completely unusable.
