Hi, just created a signature in png format, how do I get this into my image? I see the copyright/signature window but there is no option for png. I see some images in tif in the program data folder.

Thanks

As a jpg it is not transparent my signature is in a big white box so png must be used? The other issue is you cannot drag the signature to any location on the print?

You can see some instructions and samples  I prepared some time ago here:

This is the text from the Legacy Help in QU:
Copyright/Signature (only available in Studio Edition) - Select an image on the preview page, right click, and choose "Copyright/Signature".  Select a copyright/signature image and a location for the copyright/signature and Qimage will print the copyright/signature on the print at the identified locaiton.  You may create a copyright of any size by using your photo editor and defining the image size (in inches or cm).  Your copyright/signature will be stamped on the image at the size identified in the copyright/signature image.  For example, if your copyright/signature image was defined as 1.5 inches across by .25 inches tall, your copyright/signature will be stamped at that size on all prints regardless of print size.  The recommended resolution for copyright/signature images is 300 PPI.  Since Qimage reads the embedded image size from your copyright/signature file, it is similar to using a "rubber stamp" on your desk to stamp the photos that you print. 

Note that each copyright/signature image can have an associated mask that works similar to the masks used in Qimage cutouts.  The difference is that with the copyright/signature mask, your mask is separate from your main image, giving you much more freedom.  Your copyright mask should be the same file name with "-mask" appended to the file name.  For example, if you choose "my copyright.tif", the associated mask should be "my copyright-mask.tif" in the same folder.  The mask should contain a level of transparency from black (transparent or "all image") to white (translucent or "all copyright") or any value in between to give various levels of transparency from 0 to 255.  You may open the copyright sample included with Qimage in your photo editor as an example.  Note that copyright/signatures are normally stored in the "Signatures" folder under your Qimage install folder but Qimage will accept images from any accessible folder.

If you would like your copyright/signature to appear on each photo automatically whenever you add photos to the queue, you can select "Edit" from the Qimage main menu, "Preferences", "Automatic Signature/Copyright", and select "On".  Once you select "On", the copyright/signature dialog will open and you can choose a file.  Once you've chosen a copyright/signature file, that copyright will automatically be added to each print when adding images to the queue/preview page.  To turn off the automatic copyright, simply use "Edit", "Preferences", "Automatic Signature/Copyright" and select "Off".

Re. My samples on Google Drive

You will see a png sample there too. It's the dice logo.

Re. from Jeff This does not give you the flexibility of placing the signature in different positions so multiple cutouts are required for different positions (edit) but it is easier to make a cutout than a signature

Thanks folks but I think it might be easier to add a white border to your image first and then position your signature where and in the color and size you want on the white border then send it to qimage to print. I think this has more flexibility and is easier?
