I am trying to a watermark to some images that will go up on my site. I have quite a few, so rather than do each one separately, I want to create an Action that will make the watermark, move it, and lower opacity. Photoshop Batch feature to do all the images at once. I have used Actions before, but never have I had to import an image from a different file. My watermark is in a file of its own, and I am having troubles getting it into the file with my image.
I would like to know if there's a simple way of somehow importing my watermark. And as I said before, if I copy and paste, or just drag the layer from one file to another it only works once.

VERY interesting Idea. I'm not sure quite how to build an action doing this, but I do know that you can assign the watermark to a batch of photos in Lightroom. I would ask this question on the NAPP forums, too, Alex. I'll work with this idea today and see what I can come up with, but, I've always done this one image at a time, and watermarked with a BRUSH I made. IF you make a brush with your copyright/watermark---then I don't see why it couldn't be built right into an action. Did you try that?
