How to resize layer in percentage relative to image size?

Question

Hi,Say I have an image that is 100x100 pixles. And I want to take one of the layers and resize it to 50% of the image size, so that it is 50 pixles. How can I accomplish that?The reason I ask, is that have multiple images all with different size. But I have a signature (ie. watermark) that is always the same size. I want to be able to place this signature, and then resize it to XX% of the image it was placed on. That way, it should always have the same proportions.Thanks in advance!

You can scale by percentage of the original layer size going to Edit > Transform > Scale. In the transform options menu, there is an option to scale by percentage - just make sure that you click on the link icon between the Height and Width fields to maintain the aspect ratio of your layer.

However, if you wanted to scale a layer relative to the canvas size, I think you would need to do some scripting or use actions... you might want to ask around on the Photoshop General Discussion or Photoshop Scripting forums to see if anyone has a solution.
