#Batch watermark photos in photos on mac how to#

I believe variables would hold the key, because the variable could contain the name of the parent folder somehow, but I don't know how to use Automator well enough to figure out how to do this part.ДЄnd of course, finally.how do I use Automator to watermark my images?ДЄll of this hopefully will be in one Automator (program? script? service? I'm not sure what the proper term is here). How do I do that in Automator? I see that there is an option for variables, which I played with some, but I couldn't figure it out. The catch is: I want Automator to detect which folder the images I want to process (the ones I've selected in Finder) are in, and create the new subfolder within it, but because the name of the parent folder will change each time I run the automation (for example, I go to the beach one day and shoot, so then my parent folder will be Pictures/Beach and the next day I shoot at a park so the parent will be Pictures/Park), I haven't figured out how to do this part? The newly created folder can always be named 'Resized.'

I want to resize (scale) down my photos, then have them saved in a folder within the original file's folder (such as: the originals are in Pictures/Christmas) and I want to put the resulting resized pictures into a new folder (such as Pictures/Christmas/Resized). It would be handy to be able to access my automated process from within Bridge, is there a way to do that?ДЄlso, I could not figure out how to do this: I can't do it from within programs such as Adobe Bridge (which is what I'm using to organize my photos). I figured out how to resize (scale) the images, but the Service is only available from within Finder windows (ie: right-click image(s) and run my Scale service). I am new to Mac and have been experimenting with Automator (love the concept!) but can you please explain to me how to use it to batch process images for all of this?
