Greetings to PS experts. I wanted to add the copyright symbol (C in a circle) in my photo and could anyone give me some directions? :)
 
Peter, if you're using Windows, you can invoke the Windows Character Map to find most symbols and Western European language characters.

Or you can hold down the ALT key and type 0169 on the numeric keypad of your keyboard, When you release the ALT, the copyright symbol will pop into place.

Gene, I just tried it and it works. What I used was the Alt 0169 method. I tried to invoke Windows character map in PS and I could not find it.
 
Character Map in Windows 2000 (which I'm running) is found in Accessories, System Tools. I think in earlier versions of Windows it was simply in Accessories.

Joe, when holding down ALT, did you use the numeric keypad at the right (not the numbers on the top row of the keyboard)?

p.s. I just did this with ALT 0169
 
dear advice ©gene,2004

i thought you guys were talking about putting the © on the print itself.
i have not yet figured out how to put text or symbols on a print.

Joe, in Photoshop you just use the Text Tool. When you add text it creates a layer and you can use the Move Tool to reposition it. Also you have full selecton of font, font size, font col, etc

curious, i had to 'save for the web' in order to upload the photo. i've never had to do that before.

is this because of the text?

joe
 
Joe, did you merge all the layers (i.e. the text layer) then save as a jpeg? If so, it should have behaved normally.

If there are layers left in it, it will get saved as either .psd or .tif

Gene
 
merge?
yet more learning!

i did not merge (to the best of my knowledge) just hit save the first time and then hit save for web the second time.

i'll look into it more tomorrow.
