Hi I need some help stamping 7000 images with a logo. I have been using a paint brush in photoshop that works fine. but is very very slow. I tried using an action but the probelm is the logo goes in the exact same spot with an action. I need it to where i can palce the logo anyplace on the image due to some images are darker then others I guess i would like to set them to some kind of a slide show that i can stamp as they go by would be faster then opening and stamping and saving one at a time Thanks in advance for any help Robert

You can still do that with action. What you do is insert a stop in your action after the command that puts the logo on the image then you can move it around and continue action. It's still going to be slow but at least each will open, put logo on to move around then save.

If it's a dark logo -put a white glow on the outdide edge if your allowed...

or simply curl the bottom corner of your image in a triangle shape and put the logo on the white underneath this way if you make the batch proceedure for the curl affect and then the white background and the logo. it doesn't mater what immage it is it will simply curl up a very small section of the bottom of the image and hey presto their is your logo. the advangate is it wil be easliy reconisable as your curl and logo as evry one will be the same and if your logo is small enough you only say 20 by 10 pixels at the bottom of your page to do it. well its an idae you can think about

7000 images? That is either stock photos or something adult, I presume. Maybe there is some idea in including a layer blend (or effect) that guarantees contrast whith whatever is underneath in the action. But you made me wonder about those adult sites (or stock bureaux like Getty)that have their stamp on every picture. I can not image they use interns to do that all day... Or people that thought something particularly glamourous was at stake when they read that would be handling photographs of beautifull women (or sunsets, for that matter) all day...

more like some sad git in the back ofice who gets off on furniture polish. the layer blend is a good solution to his problem all depends on the mark he wants to leave.

This morning I woke up and somewhere between some relief and choosing two matching black socks it came to me like a hammer. HE SHOULD MAKE A CUSTOM BRUSH OF HIS STAMP! Like, open 100 files. Select the brush. Select a forground color and a background color. Stamp on the desired spot. Or, if the spot is dark, hit the 'x' and the colors switch places. This is how I should handle it if the pictures were all different sizes. And the stamp could be in one color. It still seems a good idea now I am drinking coffee. Still not sure about those socks though.

brillant!!!!
