Hello all,

I'm trying to write an action on PS CS4 to allow me to standardise the dimensions or size of my photographs. The main reason for this is because part of the action puts a watermark on my photograph, and if the pictures are different sizes, the watermark is bigger or smaller than it should be (the main reason I have pictures of different sizes is that I have perhaps applied a small crop, or I am using Jpegs out of the camera that are sized differently).

I have a jsx script that resizes the longest axis to 4752 pixels (which is the standard size for RAW files coming out of my camera) and this fits in as part of the action operation. The problem is with Jpegs, because they have a fewer amount of pixels per inch, even when they are resized to 4752 pixels they end up huge in terms of inches, with my watermark looking tiny.

Should I add a line in the script that changes the pixels per inch value, so that when they are resized they are all the same in terms of pixels and inches?

If so, should I change Jpegs/Tiffs to 240 pixels per inch as with RAW files? Or 72 pixels, as with Jpegs?


I've tried to explain this as clearly as possible, I'd appreciate any help!
 
As for the watermark, do it use a different layer for it other then the background. If so, have the layer highlighted and then put a checkmark in the "Show Transform Controls" box top left. You can now drag the watermark to any size you want and move it around...
