I posted the first half of this info in a different thread (in respons to Bruce's 1.5-months-old message, so many PDMLers may not have seen that. I am adding info on how to add the signature in LR.
I know that some PDMLers add signature in PS. While there are a bunch of YouTube videos on how to do that, I find this tutorial more detailed: http://goo.gl/l2jk2 Besides, it explains how to create the image for you signature, and how to apply effects to it to improve the look. I just recently did one more step of how to do add a signature in LR as a watermark. There is an important moment: one should save the signature image as PNG (not JPG!). You should have that signature in PS without the background (only as a layer), then you would end up with a transparent PNG, - so that only the signature (as opposed to a rectangle under it) would show up in the watermark in LR. For the rest of the process, - just use "edit watermark" menu, and choose the PNG file, and then choose the parameters you like. Those would depend on the photos and the colors of your signature image. For mine, I found 50-55% transparency 7-8% size, and shift from 3:1 to 5:2 (horizontal:vertical) in the right bottom corner works the best. YMMV.
