Hey guys,just found this board and looks like a real goldmine of info for PS users like me,so................
On my website below (link at bottom), I have all my photos watermarked for obvious reasons,this is done by a normal batch convert action using CS2,the gallery is actually a modified Photoshop "Simple" type of thing.
All of the information you see on the image is actually part of it except for the image number,which is put there by your browser.What I'd like to be able to do is have that image number actually as part of the image and NOT seperate,so if someone saves it they still have that number visible.
Now I can do this manually,but I'd have to increment it by 1 every time by hand,and then copy & paste it onto the resized image by hand,which will take a long,long time.
Is there any way I can get PS to do this automatically for me,so I either specify the starting number,or it actually takes the file name (minus the extension,so no JPEG etc after it)and adds this text to the watermark layer while I put the kettle on?

I've never seen or heard of a way to do it with Photoshop.
The only workaround I can think of is to create a pdf of a bunch of your images and do the numbering in there. Then just do a File>Save As... Select .jpg as the file type and it should re-save all of the pages as jpgs with the page numbering.
You may be able to do the same sort of thing in InDesign. Not really sure about any of this though. _________________ Best Regards,

Thanks Bryan,the problem is with all these extra steps I have to do it would be just as easy to do it manually,which I can do no problem,but it would be really handy in our modern all automated world if there was a PS plugin or similar that would let me do it automatically.
