OpenOffice & Gimp Tutorial: Making a Signature With a Transparent Background

This presentation shows how to create a signature with a transparent background to be used in a document. The advantage of the transparent signature is that you can place the signature between lines of text and the text still shows through. The Signature is on top of the text just like a real signature.

Programs Used: The GIMP and OpenOffice Writer.

You can also just pay 25 bucks to have your own personal signature turned into a transparent digital signature if you don't have photoshop or just don't want to do it your self. Having the digital signature is a HUGE time saver.
