So, I had a client who wanted to add a watermark to their images. They had close to 700 images to watermark, so I decided to use the automated batch function to cut down on time. I made my own action and all that, but when I went back to look at the files, their size increased dramatically. The average size of the original png file I was watermarking was around 8mb. After I ran the automation of adding the watermark, the average size of the png went up to 42mb. As you can imagine, 700 images at 42mb is a HUGE folder size. When I go through and add a watermark individually and save it, the file stays the same size. So, something in the automation is making my files balloon in size. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the issue?
