Batching your signature

[Spinners]

I recently tried a macro in PS 7 to add my signature to all my pictures, however the signature appeared as different sizes in different pictures. As well as in different places. Anyone know the best way to do this?

I don't have an answer. It is something like we need the signature to be 2% of the height or 10% of the width of the image. Maybe the software experts can figure out something.

Can't be certain without knowing more about what you did, but one thing you have to be careful about is making sure that the DPI and point size are consistent. The visible size of text in a given point will increase as DPI goes down.

Position can be a problem when you have images that are different dimensions. I created a JavaScript that works with the PS scripting plug-in that you might like to take a look at:

Hi,

I found a tutorial (in german only) on the site of Doc Baumann, to make an action for signatures in PS

Hope that helps a bit...
There are a lot of pictures with the tutorial, so if you don't understand german, perhaps you'll get the idea anyway

This is of course a blind-shot, cause I guess most of you guys are either on Windows or Mac. But if you're a strange person like me, and run Photoshop on Linux, and therefore also got access to all cool Linux-software, you can batch-process this from the console through "convert" (part of ImageMagick). I don't remember the exact parameter to do this, but it's all in convert's documentation + google.

You Windows-guys might also check out if the Windows-port of ImageMagick (I think it exist) is any good. Even you guys used to graphical GUI's for most of your work, I've yet to see anything beat convert when it comes to all kinds of batch-processing. I find myself writing small scripts, all using convert, to do all kinds of batch-processing. Resizing, rotating, watermarking, etc, etc.
