Now if you are happy with the placement of your elements & name - go to your layers pallet - right click on any layer - then click Merge - then Merge Visible.

Now activate your Crop tool by clicking on it - then crop off any access canvas that you did not use.

Once you have your tag cropped you may or may not want to re-size it. That is completely up to you & where you will be using your tag & what that websites preferences are.

If you do re-size your tag - I always like to apply one last Sharpen, just to keep it from looking fuzzy.

Now all that is left is to Save your tag as a PNG file & you have completed this tutorial!!♥
