Removing transform handles

I have a file with my signature that I use as an overlay on my photos
before printing. I want to pad the sides of the signature and then
use "snap" to place it at the bottom right of the photo image, with
the padding placing the sig inside where matting will lay over the
edges of the photo when the photo is matted and framed.
I enlarged the signature file's canvas size the right amount, but when
I drag the layer onto my photo only the unpadded original "size" of
the signature is copied and when I snap that layer into place the
padding is ignored because it isn't there.
When I view the signature file the text is surrounded by a box with
transform handles. I can't get the transform handles to go away. I
think this is why when I drag the layer I get just this portion of the
file, not the entire file.
Help!
Thanks,
jc

Re: removing transform handles

I put a pixel in the bottom right corner to protect the padding.
There are several reasons this doesn't work well for my needs.

Re: removing transform handles

...
Try this - after you resize the canvas, set the pencil tool to one percent
transparency, and draw a single pixel in one corner of the signature. This
will extend the rectangular area around the signature, and give you the snap
functionality.

Re: removing transform handles

When you talk about the "padding" are you talking about transparent
areas? If there are no pixels there, the area will not be recognized.
I would suggest you place your sig bottom right and then back off by
using the Move tool. The arrow keys are handy for this. One click is one
pixel; hold down Shift to move in ten pixel increments. If it's an
action, write that into the action.
