Batch Watermark Photos from Adobe Bridge: Actions and PDF Output

Step 1: Record a Watermark Action in Photoshop

Open a representative copy in Photoshop and open Window > Actions. Create an Action, begin recording, and add the intended text or placed logo. Set its position and appearance, then record an appropriate saving sequence for the output you need.

• Use a transparent logo asset when the design should not include a rectangular background.
• Decide whether the watermark size should be based on a standardized output size.
• Stop recording and test the Action on a second image with different dimensions or orientation.

Step 3: Set Safe Saving Rules and Inspect the Photos

Choose a separate output folder and a naming rule that keeps the files unique. Review the Action’s recorded saving command and the Batch save options. Run the test set, then open the resulting image files and inspect the mark near the edges and over different backgrounds.

• Avoid overwriting originals while developing the Action.
• If Batch should control a recorded Save As location, inspect the appropriate override option; an override does not create a missing save command.
• Check logo placement and text size on both orientations before processing the collection.

A Photoshop Action that works on one size can place a watermark poorly on another. Standardize dimensions or separate source groups before repeating fixed-position edits.
