: Photoshop Action Does Not Place Watermark File on Another File CS4 I am trying to create a PS action that uses a separate source file for a watermark overlay in a large number of photos as

@Lengel450

I am not even sure what you mean by watermark but I'm gonna go and guess it's a png with a logo/copyright or another psd file.

Either way, remember that for the action to work at all times, you must have your png/psd in the same directory that you initially had it when creating the action (and with the same name), other than that, everything is easy.

Whenever I want to add such a file via action, I simply use Place (File > Place...). When using place, the action remembers the Path of the file you placed (as you can see when collapsing Place from action details) and every time you play the action, it will load the file from that Path (that's why I said at the beginning that your watermark has to remain in the same directory with the same name).
