One "watermark" image, a simple layer file only. A folder of other images needing the watermark applying. When I try to batch this I keep getting messages saying "can't find the previous document" or "can't find the next document.
I have tried leaving the watermark file open - no success. I have tried creating an action including opening the watermark file, still no joy.
The following procedure works for me (using Photoshop 7):
1. Create a Watermark file by saving a PSD file in the
Grayscale color mode.
2. Open a sample file so you can create the Action.
3. Create a new Action, and with the sample file open, go to
the "Filter" menu, select "Texture" and then select the
"Texturizer" filter.
4. When this dialog opens, change from the default "Canvas"
texture to "Choose File...". Locate your new PSD file
that contains a Grayscale version of your watermark.
Make adjustments to the Scaling, Relief and Light Dir.
Click OK.
5. Stop recording the Action.From here, you can just do a simple Batch and I did not have any problems with the losing the Watermark file. If this was not the watermark effect you were looking for, you might try some of the other filters that accept PSD files.
The advantage with this method is that you have a repeating watermark, or if your PSD Watermark document is large enough, it will only show in a 1 or 2 impressions.
