Help with Droplets in CS3

[Andy C]

Help needed!, I have being trying a video tutorial from this months Digital photo magazine "Creating Actions" which is for automating the addition of a watermark to images and also includes an image re-size step. I can create the action and all seems fine, I move on to creating the droplet and again all seems fine. However when I drag an image over the droplet all that happens is that photoshop opens (if its not already running) and then just sits there.

I did a quick search of the net for some answers and discovered that ePHOTOzine had a similar tutorial albeit with a different end result. They were still creating actions and a droplet to automate it all. So I thought I would give this tutourial a go. Low and behold I get the same results, No automation, nothing hasppens.

So I think the questions are - 1) Is it me? or 2) some setting in CS3 I am unaware of? Please bear in mind i'm fairly new to Photoshop.


Has anyone experienced something similar or can anyone help me solve what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks Andy

In the create droplet make sure you tick the override action open command box
