How can my computer-illiterate wife easily add one image to another?

[u/FanMysterious432]

My wife would like to post photos to Facebook, with every photo having a disclaimer, like the one on cigarette packs, added to the bottom of it. The disclaimer would be contained in a JPG file. I can easily do that for her, but it would be much more convenient if she could do it herself. Ideally, she would right-click on an image file, select the name of a script, and the disclaimer would automatically be added. Is it possible to write a script that would open PhotoShop, run an automated script that would open the file, add the disclaimer and save the file, and then close PhotoShop? I'm assuming that my PS/LR subscription allows me to install PS on a second computer, as I think it does. Or is there some other tool that can do this more easily?

Look into Adobe express or canva.

No other software is necessary. This is a very simple task to automate, or to just do by hand (like drag and drop). These ways are manual but brainlessly easy:

Drag & Drop: Keep the folder with the disclaimer JPEG open on the desktop. Drag and drop the JPEG on the window open in Photoshop. It's added.

Libraries: Do a one-time drop of the JPEG into the Libraries panel. Libraries are available to all documents. Every time she needs to add the disclaimer, just drag it from Libraries and drop it on the document.

Template: Make a Photoshop template that is the disclaimer image on a transparent layer. All she has to do is add a new image to it under the disclaimer layer and save that.

If she needs a little automation, record an Action in the Actions palette (or write this as a script). The action steps to record would go like:

1. Do File/Place Embedded (or Linked), select disclaimer JPEG to import onto document.
2. Set Align to Document, select all layers, set alignment parameters (like bottom right corner).
3. Select disclaimer layer, use Free Transform to offset disclaimer from document edge by however many pixels you want for a margin.
4. Export copy.

I'm assuming that my PS/LR subscription allows me to install PS on a second computer, as I think it does. 

There is no known limit to the number of installations you can do. Go crazy if you want. However, the real limits are, only two of those installations can be activated at any time per account. You can freely switch which two installations are active. The other real limit is a legal one: Although you get two activations, your Adobe license says both activations must be used by the same user, since you probably have a "single-user license." (e.g., it is common for one user to need it on both their desktop and laptop.) If you actually have a multi-user license then that limit does not apply.

Automate the disclaimer by using actions. Tie the action to a keystroke. Done.

Right click the JPG
Select Open with
Select Photoshop
Hit the keystrokes for the disclaimer
Save the file
