I have a script which, AFAIK, can be called by an action and used in a batch process. Unfortunately, I don't know if it can be used with such early versions of Photoshop and Elements. If interested, let me know off-list, and I'll send the script to you. One thing, though - it places a border around the image, the size of which can be adjusted. You also need some very basic understanding of scripts in order to adjust the signature's placement and density, but, if i could figure it out in a few minutes, I'm sure you, or anyone else could, in about 1/2 the time.
You might also consider joining Adobe's User-to-User forums for help on such matters. http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html Shel > [Original Message] > From: Lasse Karlsson > I need a batch text tool for adding copyright info to photos. > So far I have been adding text by hand for each photo, but I miss a > convenient tool for batch processing. > I've got Photoshop 5 and Photoshop Elements v 2. > I guess I could write a macro but am thinking that there may already be some > free software or plug-ins that can do the job better than my own macros. > > Or if you can tell me other ways that you have solved it. > > Thanks for any suggestions, > Lasse
