Here is the second part of the... uh... I guess you could call this a "tutorial"... Photography Frames.
This time, I'm going to cover the exact method on how to create the Actions that's going to insert a Logo or Signature and position it at the bottom-right corner of a photo.

Photography Frames Part 1 (of 3) - The Frame
As promised, I'm going to post an easy to make a frame that's a bit higher than wide in order to have some place for a signature or logo.
The basics of the method is borrowed from an old Layers Magazine tutorial. I'm just going to cover the bare bones of the technique. You will probably adjust the parameters for your own needs.
This post is only going to cover the actual frame. Following posts are going to cover the signature and then how to put it all together and why.

"Frame" Saga Success!
I've done it. Regardless if a picture is landscape, portrait, or a 4:1 panorama of any size, I have a set of Actions that, during a single Batch automation, creates the frame and place/position the watermark signature at the exact place it needs to be. The images above is the proof.
During the weekend I will post about how I made the frame and how I automated the whole watermark-signature placement.

Recovery Miracle
Over a week ago, there was an event where I had to take pictures. Nothing complicated. I ended up the event with 96 shots taken throughout the afternoon, but one series of shot (4 shots) was especially important. It was a group picture.
A weekend passed. The following Monday, I came to the office and started sorting through all the pictures. Close to the end, I noticed that I didn't see the group shots. I started looking through everything I sorted, the Recycle Bin... essentially everywhere. They were nowhere to be found.
Could they have been accidentally overwritten by the camera? Were the files truncated/corrupted? So many possibilities, but all with the same result: I did not have the important picture.
