Photoshop :: Advanced Watermarking - Making Droplet From Action
Sep 12, 2012
The way i usually watermark my images is making a droplet from the action in the image attached. But it only works well if the image sizes are not drastically different from each other. i.e. : 5x7 , 7x5
now i have about 200 images all different sizes. i.e. : 5x7, 5x2, 3x4, 10x8, 2x2.. etc.
Im looking for a way to make an action that would recognize the image size and then re-size the watermark to 30% of the image size.

I'm sure you didn't understand what i meant by "advanced" but i created a video of me saying everything i'm trying to make.
it's forbidden for me to post links till i post 5 messages. ok then, so here's the deal. i have a 10 seconds video clip with some folks dancing in it. i wanna put my friends heads as a still picture instead of original ones in the video. so bodies and whole video will keep moving but the heads will be still pictures.

Using PS7 I need to make an action that allows me to type in a different name each time when saving a file. ... this is basic but I just can't seem to get it.
More detail is... I have a .psd file that gets changed and then saved from 5 to 15 different ways to another computer on a network. The problem is being able to save the file as a number from "500" to "1299." Is there another way to do this without having an action for each number?

I saw these images online and liked them and would like to make some parody Non-MMA Action Figures of my own, the problem is I can not figure out how the actual figures are made. I have been fooling around with images and Plastic Wrap Effect to no avail. I have actually done some research and think the figures may be made in a 3-D program like Poser, but not sure.

I have a 3d scene (FBX) with a 3d camera, rendered 3d elements and filmed elements that need to be comped in a way that required some layers to respond to the 3d camera and some need to stay 2d. Because some of the 2d layers need to occlude layers in 3d space it is not practical to pre comp.
Is there way in Action to get a a layer to ignore a 3d camera or respond to a different camera? In AE for example you would toggle the 3d layer setting.
Also is there a way to make a layer auto orientate towards the camera?

I do a lot of watermarking for the images on my website an created an action for that. What I did:
place water mark select both layers align left and bottom move the watermark layer up and to the right with the arrow keys (padding from the side of the picture)
Before I apply this action to my images I make them all 930 pixels in width with the original ration, so the height varies. When I apply the action to my images, on some of the images the watermark shows up just fine (like I created the action) but on some of them the watermark shows up very small or to large.

Is it possible to put a watermark on images in photoshop,like putting the word "preview" or "sample" on the jpeg,with a transparant type of effect on it?
Also would it be possible to do this in a batch process?

How to cut down on my time watermarking my photos. Currently I am opening a photo, adding text, rotating text, duplicating the text layer, then moving each layer to the top left and bottom right corners. Surely there must be a way to make this process quicker?

I have a whole bunch of photos I need to 'spoil' with a diagonal watermark-type effect.
how to do this as a batch. Otherwise, it could possibly take quite a while to complete.

I created a droplet from an action I recorded, and placed it on my desktop. The first time I did it, the process worked well and without problems. Then, I tried to move the file (or shortcut maybe?) to a folder and use it, but all I got was a message reading "Could not run the droplet because the file could be found". So, I deleted that droplet file and created a new one on the desktop, but then I got the same message again.
Also, can I place droplets in folders other than the desktop? Can I place a few in the same folder and name them as I wish?

I find that when using a droplet to batch process images I'm limited to 9 images at a time, when dragging groups of files from explorer onto the droplet icon. Am I doing it wrong or something?

I want to create a droplet in CS6 that I can drag lots of images to and simply have it resize those images and save them to a new folder. I create an action to change the image size and save the images to a folder as a .jpg. I then create a droplet based on this action. I tried several times to drag images onto the droplet, though as it goes through the images it prompts me with questions as it is saving the images, and it never actually saves the optimized images to a folder.

Since switching to CS6 when I create an image resize action in Photoshop the action runs correctly but if I create a droplet then the action makes the image width and height deminsions the same matching neither from the action.
It makes a 2550 x 1880 image, that I'm trying to convert to 612 x 432 into a 512 x 512 image. It also seems to be having an issue with eps files, because when I open the same eps again and run the action it adds a '-1' then '-2' then '-3' and so on, to the end of the name.
I've tried it on three Macs works the same on each one. I'm try to convert .eps files created in illustrator to .gifs for web preview. I can make an action in Illustrator, but there's no droplet. And if I save the files in .ai then the action for the droplet won't make it past opening the files. Even though suppress action open prompts are turned off.

I created a droplet that works fine. It is specifically for vertical images and saves them as a jpg. In naming the droplet I tried to abbreviate "vertical" with "vert.", and followed that with jpg to reflect the fact that the image would be saved as a jpg.
So the name of the droplet ends with "vert.jpg". Now the droplet won't work because it looks like an image file with a jpg extension. When I go to rename the droplet I am unable to get rid of the extension in the file naming dialog. It auto-completes the name including the .jpg. If I delete the extension, Photoshop only "Hides" the extension. I can't get rid of it.

I'll start by saying that I have made dozens of droplets and batches in the past, and have never run into hair-pulling like this before. I have a folder with about 40 images in it. I'd like to create a droplet that does these two simple things:
1.) resizes them to 550 px wide
2.) Saves for Web with a medium image quality
That's all. I don't care what they get renamed as or even if they are simply overwritten with the same names. I have tinkered with each setting in the Create Droplet dialog and also tried countless combinations in the Actions menu to get this thing to work correctly. For some reason, no matter what I try, it always stops at each image and tells me that one with that name already exists (even when I am renaming them w/ serial #'s). Also, if I hit replace and continue the action, the usual JPEG image quality selector dialog pops up.
Needless to say it's ticking me off because normally I'd have this thing created in a couple minutes. Could anyone give me some tips on what I'm doing wrong or maybe even give me a brief run-thru on what actions and droplet options I need to have selected.

I'm tring to make a droplet and it's not working. I've created an action, the action works fine when applied to a photo while in PS, then I went through the steps to create a droplet. I set the droplet to appear on my desktop and the and set it to close and save. So I drag a photo onto the droplet icon and nothing happens, the photos just stay the same.
Ive made a bunch of actions and tried creating droplets for all of them and it's the same thing every time. I get the droplet Icon on my desktop, but when I drag a photo or a file onto it...nothing at all.

I'm trying to reproduce the droplet illustrated
when I record the open function to open an image the specific path and filename of the image are hardecoded into the action, so the droplet will only work for the file I used to make the action and it must be in the same folder.
Obviously this makes droplets pointless. How do I make the action generic, so it will batch process all the images in any folder?

I'm using Lightroom 4.3 to add a copyright watermarking image (png) to existing tiff files for website use. I have several different png files made using Photoshop Elements, with the copyright text set at different transparencies, eg 20/30/40 percent opacity, so that whichever one I use in Lightroom I can always leave the opacity setting in the watermarking dialog at 100% and the images are scaled proportionally to 35%.
The problem is that every time I export the files after setting the watermark position etc, I notice that there is a noticeable loss of both contrast and colour in the newly made tiff files.
Lightroom 4.3, Windows 7, 64-bit.

I created droplets for my photos but I have a problem with them. When I move files to the shortcuts while Photoshop is already open, nothing seems to happen. I have to close and re-open the program everytime I use the droplet shortcut for the action to take place. Why is it? How can I fix it?

I have to adjust some images so they get square. I.e. 220x220 px. I made a Action that works fine. But there is 2.000 images so I was making a droplet to automate the task. But when I use the droplet I get the following error:
Start Droplet
File: "/Users/Magooi/Desktop/My Droplet/"
Error: The object "Background" is not currently available. (-25922)

Trying to make a droplet but PS CS5 seems to think it is a PPC item. I am on an intel laptop Macbook Pro. The action works fine on it's own but PS not allowing the droplet. I've been troubleshooting it and there is nothing in it that should disallow- gave an error message about PPC action.
I do have some older version of PS on here- (CS3) . Wonder if some sort of directory structure needs fixing since didn't do clean install of Lion.confirm if this is default location: HD/App/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets/Actions.
