Hi all,

I’ve created some actions that among other things create a text layer. This layer just has one line of text in it, which is right justified. I place this text in the lower right corner of the photo. Is there any way to specify the exact position of the text so that I know it will always be at the proper X and Y coordinates compared to the lower right corner?

Note that I’m using Photoshop CS. Thanks in advance:)

Arnor,

Record all of the following steps:
Type your text anywhere in the image, making it size appropriate, and confirm the text.

Select|All

Layer|Align Layers to Selection|Bottom Edges

Layer|Align Layers to Selection|Right Edges

Use your Arrow keys to nudge up and left a bit to the desired position.

Deselect
