Exporting JPGs with © info

Copied

I typically use Image Processor to export JPGs/PDFs with a copyright line. There are often issues with using an action to add: " © John Smith 2021 " flush right in the lower right. The line doesn't always place properly depending on resizing options.

Is there a watermark or other built in function that can be configured to add that info?

I have not had good results using the Export Function as there doesn't seem to be a resize option.

thanks

You also have the option of entering the symbol via File Info

Choose File > File Info… and near the bottom of the Description tab fields use the down arrow to change Copyright Status from Unknown to Copyrighted. In the Copyright Notice field choose the Type tool and enter the copyright symbol (Opt+G) and name. You may also enter data in the other fields for record keeping purposes. The © will appear in the file name line for that file.

That is because text is add for a particular size document.  I  create an action years ago the add a text copyright to rge bottom right.  The action use one of my utility scripts to handle  the document size.  The action basically change the document resolution so its print size was 8"  wide and added the copying using font size appropriate for and 8" wide image.  The script was  use before and after added the text line align to the bottom right,  The Script save the Document original resolution one the first run then Action change the resolution. the second rum the script restored the document to it original print resolution.

 

 However, Adobe  add a bug to Photoshop  scripting in Photoshop 2015.5 that bites my scripts. Its easy to bypass Adobe bug by adding Garbage to the document info meta data.

 

Now I have created a script the can place your  Copyright or Logo or Watermark  to  your images and size it for the Document being  Marked.  It is would be best to create your  mark as a  vector file like and SVG or AI.   However, a Larger PSD of PNG file will also work well. Large images resize small well. You need to customize the Script for  your watermark/logo/copyright file.  You do that by editing the "var"  statements in the beginning of the script.  You can use the script in an action and that action can be use with Batch or I one of the Image Processor Script.
