Hi all,

i'have a little mysterious problem.

I have a lot of images and i want to set a logo in it.
So i use actions.
I noticed that when i record a text layer that this layer is not in the
right position, because of image dimension difference.
So i convert all images to the same size. (1024x768).
I checked in explorer and now all my images has that size.

Now the problem;
during the recording i saw that the text layer still is not recording well in some
images. So i opened that particular image and i took an images that recorded good and set them together in photoshop.
What i noticed is that 2 images, both 1024x768, re-act different on fontsize.
So fontsize 12 is in picture(1) very large, and in picture(2) very small.

What is it that i do wrong?
Someone knows what i mean?

Hope i get some reactions,

Instead of actions, make a brush out of your logo. That way you can rezise the logo to fit whatever resolution you want.

Or make another PSD with the logo/design/whatever on a separate layer - you just use the Move Tool (hit the letter "v") and drag it from one doc to the other.

Many people like the keyboard commands of copy/pasting - more often than not, I just click, drag it to another doc, and let go - done. Taking the time, to make your selection, hitting the keys, clicking on the next doc, hitting the - I'm already done and moved onto the next parts. When you're copying to a mask, use the keys (doesn't work any other way) - when you just wanna get one element (or an entire image) from one doc to the other - click and drag and let go.

You can also make it with a number of layers - each one a logo for a specific sized image. You label each layer the image size it's supposed to go on, hit the letter "v"...

Hope this helps-

Thanks, but there are lot of images.
So i like to use actions, you don't?

Any idea why in several images(1024x786) font size 12 is so complete different?

I haven't the foggiest notion, to tell you the truth.

I use Actions all the time - I've set up several to perform tasks I do over and over again (duplicate Layer>Change to Soft Light>Desaturate 50 percent is one of them to give you an idea) but never with type.

When you TYPE words at 12 points for each different image, do they become different sizes? The only thing I can think of is different fonts are actually slightly different real sizes at the same point/pica height.

Do all the images have the same resolution? Adding text to images of different resolution will appear a different size.

Yes, what i wrote in my previous text.
Alle the images are 1024x768!!
That why i'm asking..
This so strange..

Does rasterizing the text as part of your action make a difference?

I am talking about the resolution of the image in Photoshop not your screen resolution. Adding size 12 text to an image with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch will be different than adding same size 12 text to an image with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch.

...

All the images are 1024x768!!
I converted them with the actions!!
I checked this later in the explorer by label dimensions.

So.. all the images are 1024x768, NOT my screen resolution!!

Some of these coverted images are re-acting different on fontsize!!

I checked this to open 2 images, both 1024x768!
Put them beside each other in photoshop, and add text to it.
Both fontsize 12, and it's a complete different size font in each picture!!

There must be a problem somewhere..

Hope this is clear now..

Let me try another way. Go to Image > Image Size in Photoshop and tell me what Photoshop says the RESOLUTION is of each image. The RESOLUTION for the image will be 1 number eg. 72, 100, 300, etc etc. It doesn't matter what the dimensions are.

dreamer101 is correct.  I just tried what he suggested and the text size is indeed different even thought the point size is the same.

Just tried it - for some reason it does change the size.

I can only imagine that picas (what type is actually measured by - I wanna kill the guy who decided to call it "points" for computers - just like I wanna kill the guy who decided horizontal and vertical should be replaced with landscape and portrait...) are a real world size, affected by the digital parameters of dpi - what we eventually have to set to describe it in "you can hold it in your hands real world size" even though it's just pixels of a digital file.

So it looks like Javil will need to change all the images to be 1024x768 @72dpi in order for the Action to work for every image.

And yes, all images would have to be converted to one resolution / pixels per inch / DPI (or whatever you want to call it) before resizing to 1024 x 768 and adding text.
