Photoshop :: Batch Placement Of Text Watermark At Constant "inch" Height
Apr 1, 2008
This should be simple but I cannot figure it out. I am trying to process large batches of photos with varying pixel counts, but they will all be printed at the same size in inches. I want a constant height text watermark on all of them, but since Photoshop only allows you to specify text height in "pixels," my watermarks end up at different relative sizes on each picture.
For simplicity, just consider 2 different pictures. One is 1700x2200 and the other is 2125x2750. I want to print each one at 8.5x11 with a 1/2" high watermark, via the same batch operation. Whatever pixel height I specify for the text in my watermark, it will be a different size in inches on each photo.
Is there any way to do this WITHOUT re-sampling the files as part of my batch operation? I don't like re-sampling when it's not necessary.
Is there a way to force the table and table text height to stay constant despite the scale? I can do it for Point Label Styles with an Expression. But in 2011 there is no way to build an expression for a table style.
I want to create tables in the drawing where the points are and then plot them from a drawing they're Xrefed in to. The tables are too small but zooming in doesn't make them any bigger because the scale of the viewport changes and they adjust.
I've got a block that I want to scale in pspace, but I would like the attrib height to remain constant even at different scales. I have used annotative blocks in vports with much success, but I would like to do the same thing only in pspace.
Running CS3 in Win XP home, I open CS3, click on File, click on Automate, Click on Batch. Within seconds I get a No Response messagefrom windows task manager, and I can do nothing with CS3 except close it.
I need to place a semi-transparent logo onto about 300 images so people do not take my pictures right off the web and use it as their own. Instead of doing them one at a time, is there a batch method to crank these out? All the images are the same size and I have them in both PSD and Jpeg format.
I'm looking to create a batch that will allow me to resize an image (I can do this part) and then put a watermark (watermark.psd) on top of it. I have followed several tutorials and tried the actions and know how to batch, etc...but when I try to put an image over it, it errors. I have just been starting the recording and then drag and dropping from watermark.psd to the file I'm working with. That causes an error.
I've shot 4 series of Pianno recitals, which amounts to about 160 final photos. These photos will be going to a website from where clients can order prints at various sizes. Most of the clients will be ordering 5x7, but there could be some that are bigger (8x10, 8.5x11,etc). All photos will need to be uploaded to this site at their maximum resolution to accomodate the largest prints - it does not support a feature to upload the same photo in multiple sizes for different print options. All photos will need to have my custom watermark/logo with my signature and the event name and date - this would be just a simple text with shadow in the bottom right corner of the photo.
In the past, I only needed to support 5x7 prints which made my job easy. I simply cropped all photos to 5x7 ratio and resized to 300DPI, I ended up with 2100x1500 pixels. I then created a layer with the logo and used the batch tool to automate the addition of the logo layer to each photo. The position and size of the logo layer always ended up in the exact same spot, since all photos were exactly the same size.
For my new assignment, I will need to leave the photos at their original maximum resolution to support large prints. I'm strugling now trying to figure out how to automate the addition of my watermark/logo layer so that it appears in the same position and size on all photos. Is there any way how I can automatically resize the logo layer to match each photo's size. That way if I have an image that was heavily cropped to isolate the subject into lets say 1400x1000pixels and another that is lets say 2800x2000 pixels, my logo would proportionally scale up or down to maintain its relative size and position to the background image.
I would like to watermark a logo on a batch folder of photos, but the photos are different heights (but same width). If I use text in Photoshop it's not a problem, but if I use my logo the Action places it in different positions depending on the height of the photo.
What I am looking for is a way to have the logo placed in a relative position to the bottom right corner of the photo. Say, 25px from the bottom and 0px from the right. I am unsure of how to achieve this relative placement.
I am creating a photo gallery for the web. I will store the very large original images, a large version to fit in the browser window and a thumbnail.
I am creating these using Photoshop Actions and a batch process.
The problem is for the large images I want the maximum width of the images to be 575px and the maximum height to be 525px.
This means that if the image is portrait it will be sized based on its height, but if it is landscape it will be resized based on its width. (I want to resize it proportionally obviously).
Can I make it do this in photoshop?
At the moment some images are either coming out too long or too tall.
-
I am having is that if the original image is smaller than what I want the large images to be then I dont want it to make it bigger.
I am trying to do something simple which is not working out right. My photoshop skills are limited.
On a blank background, I create a text layer. Then I add the "stroke" effect which creates an outline around my text. Next I want to select everything else that is NOT my text and assign it to an alpha channel to make it transparent. The way I normally know to do this it to alt-click on the text layer. However, for some reason the border of this selection is around the actual text, and not the stroke effect extending past the text. Does this make any sense? Is there any way I can do what I'm trying to do: have everything BUT the text AND stroke effect be on an alpha channel? I also tried selecting by color range... I tried to select only the background which was white, having my text and stroke over text distinctly different colors. But even this way, there are some white pixels left over which are not selected, and the end result is not what I'm looking for.
I know how to batch process images to place a logo or watermark on an image. Normally the image is different every time and the exact same logo is placed on all the images.
In this case the image is exactly the same every time but i need it saved in a folder 100 times each with a different logo. So essentially a reverse of the normal process. Same image different logo's.
I have a picture of a cabin on a lake, I want to use this as the flash intro for a website. I would like a mist to cover the picture and then float away, and the water in the lake to "shimmer" or make it look as if it is "moving"...kind of like you were looking at a video clip, not a static picture.
Is this something I would do in any of the creative suite programs? or studio 8 programs? or is it something completely different.
I really like the glow/soft light effect on this text:
How is this done? And is there anywhere I can look online for those types of shapes/patterns/borders(?) surrounding the "SOUNDSGOOD" text? I really like that style,
I have some large text and i want to replace the centre of the text with an image spanning all the letters - so that the picture is "inside" and just the text outlines are left.
I'm looking for a tutorial that will help me create "raised" text using PS. By "raised" text I mean text that appears to be raised and rounded (like it was pushed out from the back of a piece of paper) on the graphic with appropriate shadows etc.
I am trying to create 48"x60" banners with text and high res images. Basically I am exporting a large 48"x60" .odt (open office) file as a PDF at 300dpi so I can then import it in to GIMP. When I try to import the pdf at 14400 (width), 18000 (height), & 30o resolution I get the following: ------ GIMP Message Plug-in crashed: "file-pdf.exe" (C:Program Files (x86)GIMP-2.0libgimp2.0plug-insfile-pdf.exe)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
Gimp Message Opening 'C:UsersDUSTINDesktopWORKLR2 NO IMAGES.pdf' failed:
Procedure 'file-pdf-load' returned no return values ------------ The printing company is requesting my file be at 300dpi so that is why I am trying to import at 300 resolution. I am guessing this is a bug. My question is can I somehow just open the .odt file in gimp and add my high resolution images to it there? Is there a plug in for .odt in GIMP?
At work, whenever I "save as" a jpg or tif or whatever, it just renames the extension. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work.jpg'. But when I work from home, whenever I "save as" it appends "copy" to the end, which I really hate. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work copy.jpg'. I know this is a trivial matter, but it puts an annoying kink in my workflow having to remove "copy" from the file name during my extremly frequent saves. I've tried to google this, but I'm at wit's end trying to find where the preference is hidden.
I can't control text placement in photoshop 4. When I enter 2 letters, the line then zooms off to the right - right off the image. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it didn't work.
when I try to open an existing file or create a new one -- the application will shut down unexpectedly and without warning.But I also experience application errors: 'Instruction at "0x1a3c4b6b" referenced at memory "0x00000028" Memory could not be read.
I have changed my computer from pc to mac, and when I had a pc I used "Paint Shop Pro" to make my graphics. Now that I have changed to Mac, I couldn't use Paint Shop Pro anymore as it is not compatible with Mac, so I changed to Photoshop Elements 2.0. I would like to know how to make a graphic/text like this one with Photoshop Elements 2.0:
I have been using corel since version 3. Had every version up to 11. Just upgraded to x5 and noticed that when I wrap text to a curve I no longer have the 2 text options I am used to.
text orientation text(or vertical) placement
All x5 seems to have is text orientation. I have looked everywhere for vertical placement. Is it in x5 or is it called something else now?
Trying to place this dimension text. Is there any circumstance that someone would want the leader to be the final result of this animation?
Of all the ways to generate a leader (when the correct one to the center of the dim can't be generated), the extremely acute angle version doesn't seem like the best option.
how I can seperate the underline line in the text editor from the text? I can make the line thicker but place the line. I thought that there maybe an expression that controls the placement of the line.
