Hi Andy,

Sorry to take away some of your smugness.

I've had a look at how to make a copyright brush on your website and have managed it.

Ant

Thanks Andy, done it too!:)

Well yet again,I have tried ,but with no success.I remember Tom(Tracker) sent me details approx 12mths ago ,they were the same as Andy's which i printed off last night(all 9 pages!!!).I made the text using the copywrite symbol,then went to edit and found brush define(Elements 2.0),typed in my name and pressed save,but it just went into my pics as a picture.somehow cannot find a brush palette as such.The default brushes are there,but not the box which shows on Andy's diagram.Any ideas as to where I went wrong?.Yes I did make a box using the Marquee tool.It is something to do with the brushes.

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Windows "Character Map" utility for finding characters. Any character can pasted into your application. It also gives the Alt Code.

Start -> Programs -> Accesories -> System Tools -> Character Map

Robski, thanks for that bit of information I never though of using it.

Hi Christine - It works in Elements 2.0 - I've just managed it so I'll try and un-pick where I think you may be slightly off.

OK, once youv'e got the © symbol then you add your name next to it ie ©Christine 2006 - or whatever you want. (Also set the size and font type at this point).

Now use your marque tool to draw the box round it.

Good you should get a box up that says Brush Name. On the left of the box is a picture of "©Christine 2006" and underneath should be a number which will be the brush number. On the right of the box is a space to name the brush - I simply called mine "copyright" - once you've named it simply click the "OK" button.

Now open up any picture and select the paintbrush tool. Move the cursor over the picture, right click and all your brush options appear. It should be in that list - probably at the very end.

Hope this helps.

Nigel,Thanks I will have another try.

Nigel,Thanks,yes another step further,I had not noticed the brush on the left in the box etc,and yes I actually got it to download on to a picture,but,I could not see the text,until I zoomed in,so are there any recommended sizes,please,or is one not suppposed to see anything until the pic is printed?.
