I have to insert this logo

on over a 100 pictures of the kids at my school

. My photo shop skills are rather limited so it's taking an awful amount of time. Can anyone help me by suggesting a script or some other way to quickly do this. Have to finish this in the next few hours, so please pitch in you helpful souls

Does the logo need to have a transparent background?

where exactly do you have to place the logo on? On the t-shirt or just the background with with the transparent background of the logo?

Can you post a rough example of what you are trying to do.

Isolate the logo on a layer the same size as the photos, and in the correct position, then simply paste it over each photo.

Transparent will be better but I dropped the idea as it sounded more complicated

I have re-sized all of them to 5 x 7, now do I make a new layer with a 5x7 frame and paste this logo band on each image? I am sry if I am sounding a bit confused because I REALLY AM :(

Allyou should have to do is copy the logo to the clipboard and then paste it into the destination image. In PSP I do Edit-->Paste as new selection then i move it where I want it to go, click to place it there and flatten the image. Photoshop ought to be similar.

I believe this is what

scalvert is saying -

Create a file with 2 layers, keep your logo on the top most layer at the place where you want it to be.

Now open your picture file, copy it and go to that 2 layer file. Select the bottom layer and paste it. Save for web and you should have the logo at the same place on all your pictures as long as the pictures are all of the same size.

ETA : Reuse the same 2 layer file, to speed the workflow. Also to make it look a little nicer reduce the logo layer opacity to like 75%

Yes, that would work, but I had something even easier in mind...

Paste the logo onto a layer the same size as your images and position it as desired. Use a tiny brush tool to put a single pixel in each of the four corners on the same layer as the logo. Ideally, you'd want those pixels to match the background color so they aren't visible, or you could just add a border. Either way, you select that entire layer and copy it. Open the next image and pasteâ�� Photoshop will put the logo in the same place. From there, it's just open-paste-save, open-paste-save...

Yes it turned out to be really simple this way, all I had to do was to create a new file of same size as my images, paste my tag on the bottom of first layer and keep pasting the images on the second layer and saving

Thanks a lot Shannon, Vikas and Steve.

Are you planning on printing them? Watch out for the tag line - it will be illegible. Also vertically center "Happy Mothers day" with reference to the white background.

This is the final image and yes i am planning to print them as a card for the parents. Do you think the orange band and text should be bigger? ( right now the band is 1/2 inch)

Forgive me for asking... But have you considered a dark gray?, I would approach this like a baseball card, basically border on top,right,and left are about 1/8th-1/4 inch, and the bottom border is heavier at about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch..

The reason I bring this up is the potential for the orange/yellow/whatever color band to clash horribly with certain colors that will pop up in the photos... Gray is friendly.. White is good too, especially if you add a thin black border to the white.. sharpness..
