I’m playing with creating Web Galleries this week and I think I found a bug. 🙂 When choosing the Security options for the web images, it will not generate the superimposed text on the image as it says it should. See page 222 of the manual, #12. Or see Aaland’s book, page 233, #7. I have tried Custom text and choosing File Info content, but no go. Yes, i have entered the File Info on EACH image.

I also observe that when you watch the Layers palette as PSE does its generating thingy, you can see the Type layer come up with the text, but then it disappears. I also opened the generated images and there is no text.

Did I find a bug, or has anyone else discovered this? And…is there a solution?

Patti,

Some time ago there was a similar situation which never quite got resolved. The discussion is in this thread:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@137.s5l3bB5SVDj.1 1@.2ccd6ad3/0. I’ve tried to duplicate your problem, with no success. Maybe resetting the prefs helps?!

Thanks, Juergen, for the link to that past thread. I did do a search, but I didn’t find that one.

I hate having to reset the preferences! Seems like we have to do it WAY too much. Anyway, it fixed the problem — but only the first time I tried recreating my gallery. Then I made a few changes and it didn’t superimpose the text again. Aaarggh!

I played with it a little more and tried letting it resize the images (option under Large images) , thinking that that might give it an extra step and cure the problem. It worked! It’s kind of like you have to shake it loose so it can reconfigure. LOL
