Making a Signature With a Transparent Background

This presentation shows how to create a signature with a transparent background to be used in a document. The advantage of the transparent signature is that you can place the signature between lines of text and the text still shows through. The Signature is on top of the text just like a real signature. This presentation shows how to use the Gimp to take a scanned signature and remove the background to leave nothing but the signature itself.
