So I want to put my logo and copyright message on the lower right or left of many images (jpg, tiff, psd). How to do that? I have my logo and copy message in another psd doc.

If your logo is an image, instead of text, it is tricky to automate, as you’ll rely on the clipboard. In order to automate one like that, you are basically going to create an action. The action starts after you have copied the logo into the clipboard, and you’ll have to have your image in clipboard before you can run the action. The action would paste whatever is in clipboard, an then you can align it the way you like (below).

Assuming it’s text, bascially record an action that types your text the way you like it. Then you’ll want to align it. With the action still recording, Select|All, then Layer|Align to Selection: Bottom, Layer|Align to Selection: Right.

Now if your "logo" and copyright are on different layers, be sure an name the layers before you record your action, so that you can align the "logo", and the copyright layers independantly. If they’re on the same layer it doesn’t really matter.

That should get you started anyhow…

If you want to do a boatload of them, you’ll use File|Automate|Batch.

Not really.
Crop or otherwise resize your image. When done start the action with:
1) File-Open open Logo
2) Edit-Select All
3) Edit-copy (to Clipboard).
4) Close the logo
5) past
6) Align.
7) stop the action.
The align will work only for a given size, but you can write individual actions for all the sizes you use.

Not when I do it. No limitations whatsover in alignment when you use Select|All, and then Layer|Align. The aligment is relative to the selection.<shrug>
