Hi,
I've got an background/layer with 1920x1080 px. The layer on top has a photo as content.
Now I'd like tor create an action, which shifts the photo with it's upper right corner as reference to a defined position within the background.
Doing this manually by "transform" is no problem, because I can select which reference-point I like to use. But using "transform" as an action it seems as the reference is always centered on the layer/photo.
(Photoshop CC on Mac)
Thanks for help
Regards Thilo
Try to record it this way:
First align the photo layer to top and right edge of the background layer.
Ctrl+A / Layer > Align > ...
This way the upper right corner of the photo gets the coordinates x=1920 and y=0.
Then choose the reference point and use the x | y coordinates for positioning the photo.

I don't think that's possible with just an action, but it is with scripting.

Thanks Chuck,
I thought so, but I have to learn it from scratch...
