I notice that I sent this reply off list by accident, regarding the water make placement.
Here it is for posterity: Also, note the Image Dimensions patch. The input of that can connect to the image splitter at the right of the composition, and it will give you pixel width and height. You can use that with resize, image crop, math, and other patches to insure that no matter what resolution or aspect ratio, your watermark ends up in a reasonable place and size. Looking at your composition, I would tend to expect that you would resize the watermark and use the info from Image Dimensions to resize accordingly, but I guess it could to the other way around depending on criteria. Automator will be feeding the Image Filter you are creating the images that Image Dimensions will use to do a dynamic resize. If all the images are the same resolution, you don't really need to do what I'm saying. Just find the sweet spot and let it ride.
