 |
|
Hopefully someone can help me before I figure it out myself.
I am trying to create an action where I can tag (put my company logo) on the bottom center of my images. The problem is that I have to create a different action for the different alignments (Portrait and Landscape).
I am sure there is some way to set the x & y position of the text layer to a percentage of the page or something like that.
Anyone???? I am finding it hard to even specify what it is I am looking for to find a tutorial or anything like that. |

Welcome to the forum. It's a bit convoluted, but you can customise it to your needs Watermark Action

When you are creating your action, place your logo on the image you want. Make sure the MOVE tool is selected. Select BOTH the image layer AND your logo layer and click on the align buttons (per my attachment) to place the logo at the bottom center.

Hi,
I think that aligning text with variable document sizes is better done with a script. Later, you can setup an action to run the script. The script would look something like the one below:
(save it as .jsx and place it into the presets/scripts folder for your photoshop application.)
try {
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var artLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
artLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var textItemRef = artLayerRef.textItem;
textItemRef.contents = "Hello, World";
textItemRef.size = 18;
textItemRef.font = "Impact";
var textPosition = [docRef.width/2-20,docRef.height-20];
textItemRef.position = textPosition;
docRef = null;
artLayerRef = null;
textItemRef = null;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit;
} catch (Error) {
alert("no document");
}
