I’m positive that there is a way to do this, I just don’t know how. I am doing event photography and would like to be able to put the filename on each print. Is there a way to set this up as an action or as a script, so that I can batch all of my prints rather than typing the filename myself?

There is a script for that. In CS it’s under File>Automate>Scripts. I imagine it’s similar in CS2.

I don’t know anything about scripts. What is the script called?

I have two. AddFileName and AddFileNamePlus. Maybe I downloaded them from the Adobe Exchange. I don’t remember.

You can run a script merely by choosing it in the menu, or you can make it part of an action.

For those not into the scripting thing here’s another method that can be recorded in an action, which can be invoked in batch:
* Open a sample image
* Record new action
* Automate > Picture Package ….Use Frontmost Image

…..Pick any package/format combo with as few individual pics as possible, e.g. (2) 5×7 …..Resolution that = your desired resolution
…..Specify File Name, font size, style, color, etc.
…..Do not flatten layere mages
* OK to launch Picture Pkg

PP will generate a layered file among whose layers will be at least one with the file name.

* Click on the Background of the Picture Package-created layer * Enter "Alt + ]" 2 times to select the Type layer * Right click and choose Rasterize Layer
* Select > All
* File > Close (don’t save)
* Edit > Paste (create new layer in original document with file name) * Select > All
* Layer > Align to selection > Bottom Edge
* Layer > Align to selection > Right Edge
* Select > Deselect
* Choose Move tool
* Drag file name into final position (no command recorded) * Select > All (records previous command) STOP recording * Delete last Select > All command. It’s not needed.

Ta-da. File name w/o a script. 🙂
