Same settings as before.
Now apply your copyright & credit information.
The font I used for that is :
Pixelette

I also apply a gradient glow to my copyright info so that it sticks out more so that it remains readable at all times. (Don't forget to include your license # for your tube :-)
Now once you have all your elements & text in place, go to your layers pallet, right click on any layer & then click Merge, then from the slide out menu click Merge Visible.
Now activate your crop tool, then crop off any access canvas that you did not use. Being careful not to crop to closely to your template, elements or text. If you do make a mistake just click your undo button until you are back to where you where before you began cropping ,then try it again.
Once your tag is cropped you may want to re-size your tag to your desired size. This all depends on the size you are allowed to use either in your forums or groups.
Now that your tag has been cropped & re-sized you will want to sharpen it one last time. Go to Adjust, click Sharpness then click Sharpen.
All that is left is for you to save your tag as PNG & you have completed this tutorial!!
