adding signature - Help needed

I created a new brush in Photoshop by scanning my signature and that is what I

use right now to sign my photos. It's not consistent, however. I have to guess

how far into the corner to stamp with the brush. I'm adding a senior picture

that I took last summer as an example.

 

Would there be a way to open an entire folder and stamp the whole batch at once?

That would save me a lot of time! I have version 9.0. I checked in the manual

and can't seem to find anything relevant.

 

I am doing my first wedding this fall and would really appreciate any help!

 

Thank you,

I'll try to email you the instructions, but there is a way to create an action that will place a brush XX pixels from the bottom and xx pixels from the right edge. Once you get it down, the sig's all appear in the same location of each pic.

If you record a new action while placing the sig, you should be able to batch process that

action on a folder of pix.

 

Open an image, start recording, place the sig, stop recording. You may need to make

several actions for different sizes and orientations.

 

I put our logo on a 45 degree angle so it works for portraits and landscapes.

 

Once you have the action made, go to File->Automate->Batch... and select the action

and the folder of pix, etc...

Look for the iPod-Podcast by the "Photoshop Guys" that features the procedure. It illustrates step-by-step how to do it as an action and works regardless of the image size. By adjusting the opacity of the layer you can use the same process for an image watermark.

There is an excellent video tutorial by Russell Brown on this very subject. It puts the watermark, or branding, on the image in the same location of the picture regardless of orientation of the image.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for sharing the link David, this is just what I was looking for...
