How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
need i say more?!
i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works. To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height. Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy. When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked. Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size. This lets you add a border sized for and document. You can use Canvas Size check relative and leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom. You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels. You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

HT4236 Photos duplicate and triplicate on syncing iPhone or iPad

For some reason I have duplicate and triplicate images of the same photo on my iPhone and iPad after syncing with iTunes. I have tried deleting them by syncing and removing the photos check box and then starting over with a new sync, but they are still there.

Thanks Jim .... do you think rsync running by cron would do it? Then also, would it create problems overwriting files that are used in the management of the content if both computers are using iTunes at the same time?
That was my next thought, well, even if I was not going to be able to do this I still want to sync all the data on both systems ... then I have an additional backup as well.
Thanks.
By the way, it is my portable devices, iPhone and iPad that I want to sync, you got that I think.

I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again. Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again. Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

In the History Panel (on the left) of the Develop Module, click on any previous edit to see what the photo looked like at that step.
If you are going to regularly want to see two versions of edits on a single photo, consider using either virtual copies or snapshots.

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

Changing Computers - How do I move Lightroom and its images?

I'm retiring an old MAC notebook and moving to a new desktop MAC so I have to move LR and all my images, preferences, etc.
I currently have an internal hard drive with the following:
root\applications\adobe lightroom.app
root\pictures\lighroom\lightroom catalog.lrcat
root\pictures\lightroom\lightroom catalog previews.lrdata
root\library\preferences\com.adobe.lightroom.plist (what is this?)
root\library\receipts\adobe photoshop lightroom.pkg (I think this is the installer. can i delete?)
root\library\application support\adobe\lightroom\--- many folders with presets, etc
I also have an external raid system with my images on it:
external raid\lightroom images\-- organized by year and then subfolders -- these were all imported into lighroom
I also make backups of the lightroom catalog to another external drive:
external drive\lightroom backups
I plan on replacing this whole configuration with a MAC with an internal RAID configuration. I want to use the external RAID and external drive for backup only.
What I'd like to know is how I move everything and not break everything. I saw a FAQ that said to drag the catalog file over to the new location and relaunch but what if the images are moved too? Or should I do this in discrete steps?
I have my original CD media with the application but that was a few versions old now. I'm currently running 1.3.1.
Lastly, I'm wondering if I am missing any critical files in my list that I dont' know about and whether I can delete the installer (listed above) and the com.adboe.lightroom.plist file (listed above).
Oh, and do I have to put everything in these separate locations? I really would like to put all this in one place instead of having all this in disparate folders. Is that advisable? Maybe the app in the applications folder and then just a folder somewhere else called Lightroom with all the other components? Or is that stupid?
Thanks for any help or advice. I've got about 8,000 images and I'm anxious about this move.
Deena

I looked in the FAQ and couldn't find anything except what I've cut and pasted below. First, I don't totally understand it, but more importantly it seems to be talking about just moving the catalog and previews files, not the application and images and the catalog and previews files.
I'm just trying to make sure I understand the process so I don't screw up all my work. If you know any location in the manual with this info or other threads, that would be great.
Thanks,
Deena
How do I place the Lightroom Library on an External Drive?
Ian Lyons - 04:03pm Nov 20, 2007 Pacific
Q: How do I change the location of the Lightroom Library on an external disk drive whilst also ensuring that lightroom maintains the connection with the new location?
A: The easiest way is to copy the folder containing the Lightroom Catalog and the Previews to the new disk drive, navigate to the new folder location, then double click on the Catalog file to relaunch.
Note: the Lightroom catalog and preview package use the lrcat and lrdata extension respectively.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

Just set up lightroom 5 and imported images with sequence number but wanted image number. How do I renumber all images in lightroom with an image number?

How do I renumber all images in lightroom with an image number?

Try line-height: 19px; and display: block; (as shown) on the following css seletor :
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
     font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;
     color: #CC6;
     text-decoration: none;
     padding-top: 10px;
     padding-right: 12px;
     padding-bottom: 10px;
     padding-left: 12px;
     line-height: 19px;
     display: block;
Normally setting a height on a container which you have no control over is not a good idea. The text can be enlarged and that will throw everything off. The best way is to set no heights at all but use padding and make sure your background image is flexible enough to accommodate the text enlargement.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
      padding: 12px 12px;
     display: block;

Lightroom 3 and duotone images

Does Lightroom 3 support duotone and Lab images created in Photoshop?

Victoria_Bampton wrote:
Lab will import, duotone won't.
Which I find very frustrating as a large chunk of my portfolio work is Duo/Tritoned in PS.
The only current solution is to convert them all to RGB and import again, unfortunately it doesn't always convert very well with some curves adjustment needed and icky 'posterisation'/reduced quality sometimes appearing. Not to mention the pain of finding them all. I save a text file of images not imported by LR from a top level folder sychronisation and then manually hunt them down.
This is another reason why LR needs to have a library that can import a wider range of files and any it cannot handle internally, it simply hands off to another programme, in this case PS. LR cannot edit inside layered PS files now, so they need to go to PS for that sort of editing, so why not support all image files in a similar way. LR has finally let video files into Library, so why still exclude some PSD files.

Just got me a new camer canon 5D mark iii and now I can't send the images from lightroom to open in photoshop anymore

Hi Mark, I have lightroom and Photoshop CS6 and worked with it with my old camera, Canon 60D and had no problem
now I got me a new one, Canon 5D Mark iii and I can import the images into lightroom but I can't not send it from lightroom to photoshop. Also tried to drag and drop the picture image directly into photoshop but it wouldn't allow me to do so.
What do I have to do to get that working?

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations
