Hi – I’m trying to create an action that will add a copyright statement on the lower right hand corner of each photo. I’ve searched for how to do this – and the answer seems straightforward.

However, I’m running into a problem. I am going to be running this action on different sized files, so I had the ruler in percentage mode when I created the action. Now, when I go back and run the action on the original image I used to create the action, the text comes out just fine.

The problem occurs when I run the action on any other sized photo – the position of the text is fine, but instead of seeing all the characters as expected, I see a jumbled mess of all characters stacked on top of each other. It’s like using a typewriter that isn’t advancing anymore…

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

I’m using PS CS on Win2000 BTW.

Thanks
