I'm having a problem. Each time I try to use automated processing on my images it never comes out right.. For example: I created a watermark on one image, recorded it while I was doing it and then saved that as an action. I pulled up all the other images I wanted to add that watermark too, and then went to scripts, then image processor and tried to get it to run that action on all the other photo's. Problem is, the watermark isn't the correct size for all these other photo's. It's coming out huge.. And, all of these photo's were cropped down to 800 x 600 including the one I originally recorded the action on.

So, my question is, why isn't it coming out exactly as it did on the original image ??? Should I not be running this action in scripts?? That's what I use to resize images.. Is there a way to make a watermark an action so I don't have to do it on each dang image, one after the other ???

Thanks !!

This maybe a silly question but did you record your action before or after resizing the original to 800x600? I ask because if you recorded the action while file was large the action would remain large and come out bigger when you run it.

Sorry that's all I could think of that may cause such a problem.
