The weirdest thing just happened to me in Adobe PhotoShop. - GoFuckYourself.com

I have many assorted actions set up in PS for doing certain tasks. One action I have set up is the following in this order:

auto adjust levels
re-size,
add a text layer (watermark)
and save optimized

The weird thing that keeps happening is my watermark will be the correct size on some pics in a batch. Then on others (in the same batch) the size will change and get way way way smaller. Consequently all of the pics in this batch are the same size and orientation. 2000 x 3008

The other batch I do for this set containing the landscape orientation shots, same thing happens EXCEPT the watermark will be way way too large. (only on some)

I did not shoot this set of pictures personally and the portrait orientation pics have already been rotated 90 degrees CCW before being burned to a cd for me. (Either by the camera or afterwards on a computer.) I'm thinking that this whole thing has something to do with the source pics????

I never have had this problem with actions before with any of my own content I shoot or any other content that I have bought in the past. (and I have been taking pics and batching in PS a long time) starting in 1999.

I finally had to re-size in one batch and then add a watermark in a second batch.

I'm convinced it's something with the source pics.
Have you ever had this happen?

You give the pix dimensions but what's the picture resolution in the original batch?
