	"Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home. "

One being the signature, one the render: [img]file:///C:/Users/user-01/Pictures/screenshots/Ps%20support%20-%20adding%20renders%20to%20files.jpg[/img] Now from here. You take the move tool (at the top, a mouse cursor with a + sign next to it) and then drag the render across into the signature. There are a couple of complications that might occur: 1) The render is set as a background. This is simple to remedy. If you look at the layer box, you will see the render layer named "Background". It will have a locked sign next to it. In this case all you have to do is unlock it by selecting the layer and then clicking the same lock icon shown at the top of the layer box. 2) The render is set on a white/black/colored background. Sometimes people cut out renders and place them on monochrome backgrounds rather than a transparent one. The render file shown above ^ has a transparent background. In this case you select the magic wand tool (Somewhere on the top of your toolbar. Try right clicking certain buttons to get more options.) and with the magic wand tool in hand click on the monochrome background. This will give you a selection of the whole background. Then tap the delete key, and you get rid of the background. Simply drag and drop after that. Edited by Moridin, Jul 6 2009, 02:22 PM.
