Sig in an action

[Conk]

I normally apply my signature on photos using an action that I made. I am having a frustrating problem with that right now.
I will have a photo that is full size jpg. strait from the rebel resized to 800x533 and will try to apply my ©. Even when I try and do it manually, I'm not able to see the font, it is soooo small. :x It has got to be something simple that I'm overlooking. BTW, I'm using CS.
Any suggestions?

Check to make sure that you are setting the font in Pixels, not Points and/or check the DPI of the image.

If you have it set to 12 Points and you're at 180 DPI then the copyright will be 1/15 of an inch high - not very big on a monitor. Switching the image to 72 DPI or something will make that same sig 1/6 of an inch high - or 2.5 times larger.

I like to set the font size in Pixels, but either way works.

Ok Scottes. Like I said, likely an easy answer. Thank you.

This is how I sorted a similar problem and did it first with a picture in portait as I recorded the action and it works with all my photos with no problems.

Open the image with a typical resolution you consider to be suitable for printing (ideally between 200 - 300 ppi) and crop it to a Height of 6 inches and a width of 4 inches - this will be the test image.

In the 'Preferences', check that the 'Units and Rulers' are set to 'Inches'. 'Units' set to 'Pixels' or 'Percent' create a watermark that changes size based on the files resolution and will prove unreliable.

Hope this is also helpful
