Canvas Size

You know the drill by now. Select it, then “Record Again”:

This is a little confusing, but just go with me on it. This step is not for the canvas size of your photo – it’s actually for the size of your watermark. Remember how we measured it a little earlier?

Whatever was the longest dimension of your watermark (usually the width, I guess), enter it in both fields, to make a square shape. The default settings are 220 …

… but in my example image, the watermark measured 234×54, so I’d enter 234 in both fields:

Once you’ve entered your number, press OK. A little box will appear warning you that some clipping will occur; press “Proceed”. It’s not kidding – your image will end up as a tiny little square on screen. Don’t worry, it’s all good.

If I have different watermark designed, do I need to record again with new measurements for each one? Obviously not for just the change of color versions I can just duplicate, but for completely different watermark design? What exactly is this step doing...changing the size of the box handles that fits around the watermark?

[Damien Symonds]

Different watermarks will require completely different actions, yes.

So sorry, I meant to say change the "canvas size" on each action. I have my actions for all my different watermarks for FB and INSTAGRAM, changed the place, fit, etc. but just realized I left the canvas size the same as the first watermark i measured. Wondering if it was fine to leave without changing the canvas

You can get away with it, but it won't be as accurate as it should be.

Understood. Thank you for these amazing actions!!
