Photoshop - relative placement of layer contents.

My friend, Keith, called yesterday and asked if I knew of a way to position a copyright on a photo (using Photoshop) where it is always positioned at a relative spot regardless if the photo is horizontal or vertical oriented. He wanted to write an action that would add a copyright as a separate layer and place it along the bottom edge of any photo he was editing. I recalled that I had "discovered" this very technique at one point when I was building some photoshop actions. After a few minutes with Google I found the answer and it just so happened the site I found was the very site that I had found when I researched the challenge a couple of years ago. Here's a link to the free photoshop tutorial/action: http://www.wildlifephoto.net/articles/emboss.html. The key to the specific challenge is in the "Creating an Action in Photoshop" steps #10 - 13. In case you can't access the site, here's a brief recap:

1. Select layer with the copyright.
2. Choose Select > All
3. Choose Layer > Align to Selection > Bottom Edges
4. Choose Layer > Align to Selection > Right Edges
5. Choose Select > Deselect
6. Select the Move tool (making sure the copyright layer is selected).
7. Use keyboard arrow buttons to move the copyright to the desired position.

I hope you find this tidbit useful...
