Action not working correctly in CS3 12 Months ago Karma: 0  
I'm having an odd problem with an Action that I have made. I am making a calendar for a racing body, and I want to put my logo and the racing body's logo on each of the images used in the calendar. I record the action with out any problems, but when I run it, it does not do what I recorded.

This is what the image looks like after I finish recording the actions (ignore the black border in this one)...



This is what I get if I run the action on the same base image...



I have all the files used in the action set to the same Color Profile, same Resolution, and same file type (tiff). I can't figure out why it turns out differently then when I build the Action.

My zip file is to large to upload to the site, but if anyone is kind enought to give it a try for me, it can be down loaded off of my site, here.

Thanks for any help!!

It seems to me that you've only moved one layer in the Action - not the two logos. Your best bet is to create a new Action and have the logos already sized so that you can drop them in when creating the Action. It may be best to insert a Stop through the pop-up menu too when you're creating it. You can then have more control and adjust where you want the logos. It also seems that every car image needs to be the exact same size or the logos will look different when the Action is done.

I hope this helps.

Tony

Thanks Tony. When I made the action, I did in fact add and move the second logo. I've not had a chance to go back and mess with this, but I think the Free Transform I am using in this action to resize the NASA logo might be the culpert to my problems.

All of my images are the same size for this calendar, but another photographer suggested I use an "align layer to selection" to handle different image sizes.
