thx :}

Try rasterizing the text layer.

I'm no graphics guy by a long shot, but maybe it is applying the text and then resizing instead of resizing and then adding the text.

This is probably a dumb question but are all the images you're applying the action to the same size?

Or that.

after my action resizes them they are all the same width 250px



and btw the action is resizing then adding text gr :: frustrated ::

I'm not really good on it...

Without seeing the actual action it's impossible to tell you what's wrong. You can shoot me a copy of the action (stu AT frostedfaces DOT com) and I will take a look at it and make it work for you.

I posted it @ www.youre.nu/test.atn

thx :)

Alright, I checked out the action and I see that you have it creating a text layer on the photo. The action that I use to watermark my photos uses a seperate image with the text on a transparent layer. I tried to make an image like this for you, but I don't have the correct font installed.

I recommend doing this:

Take a transparent image and run your test.atn on that. Merge the visible layers of this new image (keeping it transparent) and save it in a folder. Make a new action that takes this transparent image and pastes it over your photos. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I forgot what the question was...distracted by StuBradley's animated sig gif.
