I have 200 photos I need to resize and ad a logo to, in the corner. I know how to batch resize, but I can’t figure out how to batch copy-paste between documents. Barring that, is there a way to put all 200 pics in one document as 200 layers?
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to do it with File->Place if your needs are simple. You can do a lot more if you write a script (I’ve done some in Javascript; IIRC AppleScript and VBScript are also supported, probably only on their respective native platforms). If you do a lot of batch processing in Photoshop, it’s worth learning how to use the scripting functionality.
Check outtutorials on batch watermarking. Something like the following link would get you close:

Although I haven’t used it myself (beyond just trying it out to verify that it worked), there is a powerful, free suite of tools from ImageMagick that does what you want. This is a tool you run outside of Photoshop or GIMP, specifically, from a command line (cmd prompt in Windows). The suite is available for Windows, Mac, and Unix.
