Batch "Place" gets off center after multiple images

This is sort of a hard one to explain. I'm trying to place a border and watermark over multiple images through the Place command. The image that I'm using to place is a .psd file with transparent background. The main images are tiff files. The problem is, that after a number of images that are changed, the placed image (border/watermark) gets off center by a few pixels each time and I end up with a border shifting to the right. How can I fix this? Here is my process:
1. Create action
2. Resize image to 1200x1800px 300dpi.
3. "Place" border/watermark image over top of main image. Center Position is 600px and 1200px. Scale 100.1% for each side
4. Flatten Image
5. Sharpen
6. Close action
7. I then select multiple images via Bridge and go to "Batch" or "Image Processor" and run it.
8. Over multiple images, the placed image "creeps" to the right by a pixel or two each image.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? The placed image is the exact same size and orientation as the original images.

Ahh this is a huge help. This problem has been a thorn in my side for months. Thank you for the quick answer. Here is the list of my steps now...
1. Resize background image to whatever I need
2. Place overlay image (border/watermark) and "enter"
3. Select All
4. Layer > Align layers to selection > Vertical Centers
5. Layer > Align layers to selection > Horizontal Centers
6. Flatten Image
Works great, as long as the placed image is the same size as the background image.

Titles off center after import into FCE

I seem to always have to adjust the position of my titles after importing them into FCE because they are off center. They are centered in LT and I have tried changing the project properties to different video formats, but they continue to be off to one side after import. This occurs both when I import the .ipr file into FCE and when I render the movie and import it as a .mov file. Any suggestions on how to have the titles show up where I designed them in LT?

I am not sure if they are always off the same number of pixels, but they do always seem below center and off to the right. Could it be that I am using the incorrect project preferences? I am using Captured DV footage in FCE and I have tried both NTSC DV 3:2 and NTSC 4:3 and I still seem to have the problem.

Sometimes my screen starts to move on my iMac. It's like it's trying to turn the page and it gets off center and the mouse doesn't work when it happens. It usually lasts about 15 seconds or so and happens often.

Sometimes the screen on my imac starts to shake like it it trying to "go to the next page". When this happens it usually freezes up for 15 seconds or so and the mouse doesn't work.

Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

HP TrueVision camera is off center

I have a HP Pavilion dm4-1160us. It has been working very well until recently the HP TrueVision lense somehow gets off center. Half of the lense is covered by the frame. So, it will have a dark area almost half off the screen where the lense is covered, but the other half is still working nice. I don't know how to get to back to center. Any suggestion will be appreciate. Thank you!

HP5250 Printable CDs Print Off Center

Using the printable CD feature, I find the image placement prints off center. At first they were slightly off to the left which was no big deal. But the last few I printed came out noticeably shifted toward the bottom leaving a sliver of white at the top.
Is there a way to realign the CD print tray?
Also, is there a way to print right to the outer edge and center hole without having an unprinted border?
I use Roxio Express Labeler that came with the printer.
Thanks!

Thanks for actually addressing the question. Yes, I have set Custom Layout to 12x18, but I cannot set the border to zero - it is automatically set to a minimum of 0.556" and cannot be reduced. I tried setting a custom paper size of 13x18.5 and was able to set the border to 0.25". My thinking was that this would trick the printer into printing closer to the leading edge of the paper, where the printer's margin is smaller (0.13"). Unfortunately, when I did this, the printer kept giving me "incorrect paper size" errors and refusing to print. The 4000 can print borderless only at the long edges of the paper, not at the leading and trailing edges.
I recall that my Epson 2200 had the same margin issues, but it was possible to override the printer's defaults by using a "borderless" paper setting. With the 4000, this seems not to be possible.
As for color, I am very familiar with color management. I let the app manage color, selected the Ilford profile, perceptual rendering, black point compensation, set print rez at 1440, selected the appropriate media, and turned off color management in the driver. I even tried using absolute rendering, figuring this might lock down the neutrality of the b&w, but no. CS3 still rendered skies ever so slightly cyan, where Aperture was more consistent across the tonal range.
Ultimately, I used QuadTone RIP, a lovely little $50 shareware RIP dedicated to B&W printing. Despite the name, it also works with color inks. Does a terrific job. In daylight, my Aperture/Epson driver prints look very neutral. But, under artificial light, I see a slight reddish cast in midtones. Prints made with QTR are neutral under any light and do not suffer from metamerism.
...'Case anyone's interested.

Are you using a tv or an actual production monitor? If its a tv, they can get off center sometime. You might try going into the menu settings on it and seeing if there is a way to adjust it.
Otherwise just judge by looking at the canvas. If its centered on the canvas then your fine. If you're really paranoid check it using another tv or burn to DVD and check it.

If that phone has been synced in iTunes, you can restore from the backup after having restored the phone.
There is also a little mac app that can read the iPhone backups that are in iTunes,called ibackupviewer.
Then when there is no backup of the iPhone: read the following aricle:

How to place multiple images in batch with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds at the same position?

I want to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds to make them look as if the paintings are hanged on the room walls. I know how to do it one by one, but that takes time and I want to do it in batch at once.
I am quite a beginner for adobe photoshop CS6. I belive such an automated task is possible through 'Automated Batch' function and/or 'Create Droplet' function. Kindly share your expert opinion.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

You SHOULD be able to apply batch changes just by selecting multiple images

Don't get me wrong, i love lift/stamp. It's very helpful.
BUT, I really hate the fact that in Aperture you can't just drag-select a group of images and then either apply adjustments to all of them, or –more often– keywords.
Why does Aperture keep you from doing this?
At the very least, you should have the OPTION in PREFS to do this. Or not.

I'm sorry you are having difficulty.
It's simple: you select multiple images, right?. One has a thick white border and the others have thin ones. But, even though you have multiple images selected, if you input keywords, or other metadata, or an adjustment from the Inspector, it only applies to the "primary" image.
There should be an option to have that be the case... OR, if you want, to apply whatever adjustment from the INSPECTOR you choose... and have that be applied to those multiple images.
"...why would anyone be likely to want to see each single adjustment step applied to a large number of images before settling on the preferred combination?"
Because everyone's not you.
I just shot 100+ table tops that were VERY similar lighting / angles / etc. And I needed to comp them out for the client ASAP. The technique I described would've saved me a lot of time. Instead I had to do ONE image of the mini-batches, and then lift/stamp the rest. When it would've been so much easier for me to drag-select the 8, or 15 in a group, and assign them all keywords at the same time, and do some adjustments. Bam. Quicker.
Oh, and per the "what is the universe" question? You don't have to look any further than Apple's own operating system to see this "crazy" and "unique" technique in action: go to FINDER, select multiple items of folder (drag around them), and then CTRL-Click and choose a label color. Viola! ALL the items become that color.
Like I said, I'm only suggesting Apple provide the OPTION of working this way. And it IS the norm in most operating system / program environments.
In fact, watch the Lynda.com vid on Aperture 3: the MetaData portion, the guy drag-selects a bunch of images and says "...now, you'd THINK you could just enter some keywords for these similar images and have them stick... you'd be wrong. You have to use lift/stamp for that. For some odd reason."

Fastest way to add multiple images, one after the other, in DW5.5

There has to be a faster way to add multiple images, one after the other, in a web page rather than just dragging each from the Files tab w/in DW 5.5
I was a little surprized I couldn't select multiple images and just drag a block and have DW just insert an img tag with empty alts and the source path but maybe there is some options I just haven't found?
I tried using Bridge to generate a quick html slideshow/gallery but it creates skads of divs and such... I just have to update an older site and was looking for an efficient way to add a bunch of images (random names ugh so just copying-pasting one and changing names is still more manual) that lie next to each other, no breaks inbetween....seems an ideal automated situation.
I'd settle for an external script or app or something because they come in blocks of 25 approx and I have all my actions in PS set up to size appropriately which is nice so I just wondered if there was something good for this low-level production task.
Thanks

Thanks. Yes, I started writing a script but I just wondered if there were hidden gems in DW....so many programs do more than they are intended to do nowadays, I had to ask people who use it more!
Actually, the fastest was to just dupe one line of code, paste x amount and then just use the pick-wip to point and drag. That at least cut the menu out of the equation.
I thought I remembered doing a batch insert years ago..maybe in GoLive or before Adobe had DW? DW and GoLive are the only GUI html editors I've ever used..but, may it was just something out of an ealier photoshop...they've taken good stuff out and put good stuff in so many times that I can only remember so much!

How to place multiple images?

Hi,
How to place multiple images?
Regards,
Learner

Is the script creating the frames? If so, just assign each frame a
variable, or make them all into an array. Then use something like:
myFrame.place("aFile");
If the script is not creating the frame, then are they live frames on
the page, or are they actually on a master page?
If they're on master spreads, you'll have to release them to the page
you want. (I think it's myMasterFrame.override(myPage) where myPage is
the live page you want to detach them on, but you'll have to double
check that.)
But presuming they're regular detached frames on a page, if you want
your script to figure out which is the first and which is the second you
can either use script labels in the UI and then search for the script
label, or else you'll have to write a function that will get all
rectangles on the page (myPage.rectangles.everyItem().getElements() and
either do a clever javascript sort, or write a straightforward function
to sort them by height and x-pos.
Hope that sheds some light on the task ahead!
