How can I paste logo automatically in photos???

Im using PS CS, I have a need to paste a logo(small jpg) into a bunch of JPEGS (pics) I have.
I try setting a new "action" to do it automatcally, but gives me an error: "no paste command..." etc...
How can I accomplish this and save time....too many pics to do....also how can I save the final product straight to the JPG without PS asking me to save it to a PS file first????

thanks for any assistance....

I think the easiest way to do is to create a new action, then open the logo (small jpg), then open the file you want to put the logo in. After copy and paste the logo into the picture you've got to save the new file as an jpeg (or whatever you want) after choosing the quality of this file following the save-command. Stop the action and go to the "automation-modus" (I use the German version of PS CS but it must be in the menu "File"). Then choose "batch-conversion" or something like this, use the action on which pictures you want to put the logo in. After that you have to choose the option ""file save as overwrite in action". In German that option is called "Speichern unter in Aktionen

In order for the Past Command to work there has to be something on the Clipboard. So Copy first, then run the action.

Try flattening before saving. But resaving jpegs is not the best idea.

To (re)use an action with a paste command - you must fist open the itme to be 'pasted' and ^C it. then all will function.

In German that option is called "Speichern unter in Aktionen überschreiben". By choosing this option, PS CS doesn't ask in the batch conversion any more about the quality of the file. It uses the quality, you choose above.

Hope this helps.
