Sorry to be a bit thick, but this is the first time I've tried this....I've downloaded an action for Photoshop, now all I need to do is find out where to put it to activeate it, any help please......John

Here is the path> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Photoshop Actions
Good luck!

Thanks for the info....I've copied and pasted the "action" into "Photoshop Actions" restarted Photoshop but I see no "action"....have I done it wrong?.....John

Hi Britsdad,

've downloaded an action for Photoshop, now all I need to do is find out where to put it to activeate it, any help please...... 1) The action you downloaded is contained in a .zip archive:

Open your .zip file, highlight the .atn file it contains and extract it to C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop XXPresetsPhotoshop Actions ... provided you installed Photoshop in that (default) directory ...If you installed Photoshop somewhere else, search for your PresetsPhotoshop Actions Folder and extract your .atn file there.


Open Photoshop, go to the 'Actions' Palette, click on the little arrow on the top right of your Palette, select 'Load Action' from the menu and, in the browse window, (it should already be configured to open the right Folder) click on the new action you downloaded ... The action is now added to your Palette ... Just double click on it to activate/use it.


2) The action you downloaded is an .atn file:

Simply place it in your Photoshop Actions Folder and continue as explained in the second point above.

Hope this helps! :) :)

You gave me an incomplete information! By Flora you can have a complete quide.
Regards.

Thankyou Flora and oltenius...So that's how it works is it!!!!....John

My pleasure! :wavey:

You are welcome, John!

P.S. you can drag and drop a atn file into opened Photoshop (well 7 you can ) the only thing is when you open the zip drag into my documents ( or somewhere similar ) then drag and drop into ps
hope this helps
