    hey guys i did some photos for a week long event and i need to add logos to them before i submit them. i set up an action (as described in this link http://featofdesign.com/stephen/2011/06/11/photoshop-cs5-adding-a-watermark-to-multiple-images/#comment-5299) to place, resize an save the images and then automated it to do all my horizontally orientated pictures. (i have the horizontals and verticals in different folders)

    now i have come to do my Vertical photos. i know i have to create a new action first, so i have done this and the photo i used to create the action is exactly how i want it: 1 logo bottom right, 1 logo bottom left. however when i execute the automated action for the rest of my vertical photos the logos end up in the wrong places. where am i going wrong???

    I've found that when I make watermark actions on Photoshop, that it doesn't always layer them correctly/in the right place.

    It seems to pick and choose which photos it wants to do correctly (regardless of orientation). I'd be curious to see if there's a quick fix for it, myself.

    rotate photos 90 degrees, use original action and rotate back 90 degrees.

    Are the images actually rotated ? Or are they in landscape mode with the EXIF orientation flag set ? Could be that PS is ignoring that flag when it loads up an image as part of a batch action.

    ok i have found myself a temporary solution. i have rotated all my verticals back to horizontals (in windows photo viewer), created a new action that included rotating my logos 90* and then automated that action. after the automation was done i just re-rotated the pics so they are portrait again.
