First, i make a action, where i add text to the corner of the picture. Than i make another action, where i make frames + the first action.

When i use it on some pictures, for example wide’y picture, text is the size i put it to. But for heigh’y picture, text changes extra-large. I think the "font size" is the same number, but it comes out alot bigger.

Why, and how can i repair it?
Thanks.

Do the different images have different resolutions?

Without knowing the specifics of your actions, I can’t add any more.

No, they are pretty much same (for example 640×480 and 480×640) What information can i add?

No difference in ppi numbers?

What are the action steps?

It might be better to size the text in pixels, rather than points. That way you don’t have to worry about the resolution.

26 pt all the time.

"What are the action steps?"
Make text layer
Set layer styles of current layer

If i see both pictures 100% there is still a big difference at that text size. How can i resize/make the text in pixel-measure?

What Ed is asking is: is the resolution of the images consistent? Are they both (say) set at 72ppi?

26 pt all the time.

What Michael is suggesting is that you set the text to pixels rather than points in the Options Bar.

Do both these things and your problem will go away.

Preferences bar?
I got it in pixels now, and it works great!

Thank you!
