I have a large number of photos that I need to watermark. One thing that I am having trouble with is, not all of the photos are of the same orientation. Meaning, some are landscape and some are portrait. Additionally, the size (dimensions) varies from file to file (ie 800×600, 1024×768, 1600×1200, etc.)

I have been using action function and here are the steps I have been using

1. Create new action/record starts
2. Open an image file
3. File>place> a *.png logo file i have already created
4. I then drag the *.png logo from center of the image to the lower right corner and press enter to lock it in place.
5. File>Save>Close

6. File>Automate>Batch etc…

What ends up happening is, for those photos that are of a different size and orientation, the watermark gets placed in odd locations. Though it’s the exact location as the original action was recorded in, it doesn’t work for all photos.

What I am looking for is a way to have the text placed in a relative position to the bottom right corner of the photo. Say, 25px from the bottom and 0px from the right. I am unsure of how to achieve this relative placement.

If anyone has the knowledge of this please help! A million thanks in advance!
