  • Installing Photoshop Action??

    I must not get it...

    I read the Advanced read me
    I read the read me
    I read the readmedo.

    As far as I can gather, to install a PS action, you must access the index.html, inside the action template folder. Then add a string...

    My problem I think, is my text editor, I think, doesn't really show anything that can be edited, as described in the advanced readme. I just used the basic text editor with OS X 10.2. As suggested in the advanced readme.

    I tried BBedit lite (text editor) and got the index.html to show up in HTML, but still don't get what needs to be edited there. I didn't see anykind of "prompts", as suggested should be there in the advanced read me.

    I tried filling in the .atn file name and the action: in the readme, in the same folder as the index.html. This didn't seem to do anything.

    Dang...
    This is so hard to get the hang of!!!

    Thanks for any help!

    (I have come to expect that instruction wording doesn't always match outcome, so I have lost much of my resolve to figure things out as instructed in the book or readme. Please forgive me if this is a real simple thing that everyone and their bowl of cereal can do )

    I've hopefully never given the impression that it was simple. For those who like to fiddle, it is interesting. For those who know some HTML, it is a breeze. For the rest, I have repeatedly offered to customize installations with worthy actions and make them available to everyone.

    I think the prompts may have been inadvertently removed in the recent version update. Please send an email to [email protected], and I'll get you a copy of a newer html file.

      Decrack action and PS5.0
      by Tim Edwards
      For the folks using PS5.0 who couldn't load the action from the tutorial, you'll have to wait a bit longer... I can't get PS5.0 to install under Windows ME. PS6.0 works fine, but 5.0 won't even start.

      If somebody running 5.0 is interested enough, I could take the time to write down...

      Quick Question about Editing HTML for new action
      by pm3009
      Hi

      I'm using PSE2 and I did successfully add my first action that I downloaded from the web. Works GREAT! In this action, I happened to know what to name the "whatitdoes" in the html code (happened to find that on the web somewhere for that particular action). But for other...

      Another Action Question
      by Scribe
      Yep, I'm back with another Photoshop action question. One of these days, I just might get the hang of these doggone things.

      In one of the threads on the Photo-based Art forum on this site, someone had posted an action. It was either in that post, or in a subsequent one, that the author...

      Installing actions using the text file
      by cbeam2
      I got someone to save this action as a text file. Please explain how I would enter info for this action. There are multiple actions listed. Maybe it will click after this one.
