i cant rember who it is, but ill ask anyway.

there is a guy who takes photo's from hartside and sells them on his web page,

when you need to take a batch of photo's, and reduce them all in size (for web use) and stick "sample" over the top of them,

how do you do it ?

surely you dont do each pic induvidually, cos that would take all day, so what program do you use ?

i know you can set up a batch file in photoshop - but im not really familiar with the CS2 edition (the one i have) and i cant seem to do it.
cheers,
Warren

Amarko5 (http://www.hartsidepics.com/) is the person, I think he does use Photoshop as well.
give him a PM... I'm sure he answer very swiftly.

What you can do is record a action script in photoshop doing what you want on the image like resize and overlay text. Then once its been created you can batch run a folder of images or create a dropplet which is a small prog that you can put on the desktop or anywhere else, drop a folder on the dropplet and it will preform the action scrtipt.

its built into photoshop creates the web pages and everything for you thumbnails etc etc

file/automate/web photo gallery make sure you select the type you want then go through all the options tabs to find security (watermark) play and try till you get the result you want..
