      I decided to use my handwritten signature for a watermark since I don’t know if fonts are copyrighted or not. I have it saved in my photo basket and drag into my pictures. It is written in black on a white background so I have been using the “multiply” advanced blend mode to get the background to blend in with the photo. When I try to do this on a dark area of my photo, the signature does not show. I tried changing the signature color to white and NOTHING shows up. What am I doing wrong?

      Hi Julie. Try this: open up the signature in Ribbet, go to Advanced > Curves and select the preset “Invert”. This will make it white on black.

      Save this inverted signature and drag it onto your photo as a watermark (you can drag it from “History”). This time use the blending mode “Add” instead of “Multiply”. You can also use the fade slider to fade it out a little.
