Photoshop CS – inserting a watermark logo, batch process. help!
ok so heres the deal.
I know how to use text to watermark a ton of photos all at once (using the action pallette).My question is this, how can i insert another jpeg image (logo) into all the pictures in a set batch? I tried recording the action but run into problems pasting into the original image because photoshop can no longer “select previous image” when the next file comes along in he batch.
I know there has to be a way because if you look at most websites, they use translucent logos. It would be such a pain to put that logo on each page one by one. Also how can i make sure each logo is aligned correctly to the bottom right corner?
any tips would be greatly appreciated. am i going about processing batches incorrectly?
heres what i am using so far as an action:
>Image Size (resize to 800×600)
>Open (this opens the logo file that will be used for watermark)
>Copy (copies logo to clipboard)
>Select Previous Document (selects target image for the watermark logo to go into)
>Paste
>Move Current Layer (aligning to the bottom right… this may not be the best way to do it)
>Set Current Layer
>Export (save for web function, jpeg – High)

I don’t have the time to try it right now, but could you make a custom brush (or custom shape) with your watermark and set that in your action to be positioned at the correct location.

I eventually figured out how to do it.
It required copying the image i wanted to use onto the clipboard first, and having the image i was going to watermark highlighted before starting to record the animation.
