And I did get a few good paybacks after threatening action (not like I would anyway haha) The site I post photos at, min upload resolution is 800x600 and max is 1600x1200...I usually upload at 1024 or 1280 wide...so people can appreciate the details

I never like to post anything over 640x480 thats good enough imhop. besides if your paying for your bandwidth you'll be hurting pretty quickly posting anything larger.

use photoshop.

Record an action of creating a watermark on an image, and then you can automate it to apply your action to an entire folder of images.



To record an action, click the actions tab (beside history). Then click "Create new action" (little paper icon at the bottom of that window). Everything you do in photoshop will be recorded in that action (eg make a new layer, set transparency to 20%, resize to 50%, adjust levels, etc etc). Click on the stop button to stop recording the action.

To apply the action to a batch, click File > Automate > Batch. On the action drop down menu select your newly recorded action. Click choose to select your folder of images. And then specify a desination folder, where it will save your new images.


It's great for making thumbnails or just resizing high-res images and adding basic things like borders.

the site as been around for ages, its very popular and we have got so many requests to sell out prints online, we're making it a reality. people will be buying the photos in various formats, so they defiantely wont pay if they dont have to. of course i can afford an image editor really, but why pay for one when there are bound to be apps out that there that do it for free.
