Add Signature To Image

Here is the image I want to add my signature to:

I paste (Edit - Paste) my signature on the image, and Photoshop automatically pastes it into a new layer. Or, if you want to be safe, click on the "Create a new layer" icon to create a new layer, and then paste your signature into that new layer.

Photoshop pastes the signature in the center of the image. Select the Move Tool on the Tools Palette, then click and drag the signature to the bottom right (or, wherever you want it to be) of the image.

Oops, I've got a problem. Since I selected to type my signature in black, it can be barely seen against a dark background.

Despair not, friends, for we shall remedy to this situation illico presto!

We could go back to our signature file and change the colour of the text to white. Nay, that's too easy, and besides, we want to learn a few more Photoshop tricks.
