Customize Place

Thanks both for the useful replies.

george's suggestion solves my simple use case nicely. For ones who know more about scripting, xbytor's script might be a useful one to keep in your toolbox.

If you don't want to use a script, you can just add a few steps to your place action.

After you have placed the watermark image, use the Align Layers option to Align Bottom Edges and Align Left Edges.

Then choose the Move tool and nudge the watermark up and right by 5 pixels.

Thanks xbytor for the reply.

I downloaded your script and was wondering how to run the script as a standalone? I could not find any explanation in the user guide.

Thanks.

I posted an updated version of my XWatermark script here:

It does what you need and also contains the JS code for handling alignments if
that's all you are really after. There is a method called
WatermarkUI.prototype.applyWatermark

which is where all of the interesting stuff starts to happen.

You can add watermarks as text, shapes, or images, align them as required and
optionally specify a layer style.
