Workaround: Use MAC OSX automator actions
Well I guess the ole' MAC OSX actions will come to the rescue again. I don't know why I even bother working on PC's anymore.
So here's a short explanation of the workaround.
1) I duplicated my folder of images (the one with 100 subfolders, etc) twice and renamed to "folderofimages_thumb" and "folderofimages_copyright"
2) I put both folders onto my mac server.
3a) Used automator to create thumbnails of the images in "folderofimages_thumb"
3b) Used automator to add copyright to images in "folderofimages_copyright"
****In both cases the images are overwritten with the specified changes i.e., thumb or copyright
Steps 4 + 5 repeated for "folderofimages_thumb" and "folderofimages_copyright"
4) Change name of "folderofimages_copyright" to "folderofimages"
5) Use Dreamweaver FTP program to put images in "folderofimages" residing on mac server into "folderofimages" on PC that contains the original
Now I have one folder on my PC called "folderofimages" that contains the original image, the thumbnail, and the copyrighted version
Of course, if I had Photoshop on the MAC I wouldn't have to do all this, I could just use automator to run the photoshop actions.
