Is there away of getting your logo the same size no matter what size the image is?

Some images i will crop other's I don't and find my logo is always slightly different size, now I have my logo saved as a PSD so i just shift and stretch it till it looks right.

Make a brush out of your logo and you can then size it any size you want.

Get your logo on a transparent background then go>edit>define brush preset, sorted you now have the brush loaded in your brush pallet and off you go!

Its not the size I'm worried about.. its that I want the logo to look the same no matter what size the image is
 
You can add guides with a %age. So go to view>new guide. And create one horizontal guide and one vertical guide with values of (say)98%. Each guide line will then be 2 percent from the right and 2% from the bottom of your images. You will need to add a second guide for each axis for the other sides of your logo, so then with snap to guides checked, the logo can be snapped into position when you resize.
Using a %age value will ensure that your logo will be positioned in the right place on each picture.
To make sure the logos are the same size, you will have to do some experimenting with the percentage values to ensure it remains in proportion with your logo.

Once you have the percentages fixed, you can then make an action to add all the guides for every image you make, when you go to add the logo.

Your photo aspect ratios will always have to be the same in order for this to work each time.
Otherwise you're just down to resizing as you're doing.

If your logo is text based (like it looks) It might be worth having it created in Illustrator and importing the logo file as a smart object each time. This will ensure there are no jaggies no matter what size you make the logo within your files.

All food for thought :)

Well maybe it isn't exactly clear what you want from your initial post. Maybe you could show an example of what is good and bad for you.

It now sounds like you may be distorting the logo because you aren't resizing it correctly???

Click on one of the corners and whilst holding down the shift key which keeps the aspect ratio, drag it to the size you want. Ideally the original logo needs to be as big as the biggest size you are ever likely to need.

Perhaps you should only comment on the post's you understand then, As you have repeated how I'am currently resizing my logo.

lol. I didn't even watch the link so i didn't realise i was duplicating.

People always forget you can use percentages and a good few other types of measurement in the dialog boxes. :)

You could take a look at the automate and script options as well and set it up so that it is fully automated. It's fairly easy to do.

Using 'button mode' it becomes a single click to add the logo, resize it and position it proportional to the host image and flatten again.

You can even set up a separate action so that you don't even have to open the images in PS, it just carries out the work on a batch of images on a folder.
