1. Unzip/extract the file and put the .ATN file in a directory of your choice. It does not need to be in the Photoshop directory, but to make them available from each tool’s menu, they should be located in the folder “Actions” under “Presets”

2. Open Photoshop and press “F9″ (Option+F9 on Mac), or simply go to “Window > Actions” to open the Actions palette.

3. Click on the small triangle in the right upper corner or the Actions palette.

4. Select > “Load Actions” from the menu, then locate your .ATN and press “Load” (repeat this step if loading several actions).

Yes. Actions are cross-platforms. Actions developed on the Mac are compatible with Windows systems and vice-versa. (Really, an action is just a set of instructions to Photoshop® calling on various functions, just like macros in a spreadsheet program, and the actions file is a format Photoshop® uses to call these steps.) The only compatibility issue is between various Photoshop® versions (PS7, CS, CS4, etc.), not the operating system under which it’s running.

At this point the actions are not compatible with Adobe Photo Elements® or any other image editing program. They only work with Photoshop versions CS3 and higher.

Please check the following things if you are getting this sort of error message.

• Have you created a new layer that an action would have trouble running from (e.g. text, curve, etc)?

• Are in 8 bit or 16 bit mode?

Many Photoshop filters and adjustments will not work while your image is in 16-bit mode. You can change your mode from Image > Mode.

If you run the action on Photoshop CS5-64 bit mode, you might have to switch it to 32-bit mode. Here is how you can switch modes in CS5:

The border patterns (.PAT) which come with the action, have fixed size. It is important that you run the first action “MUST!!! – Prepare the image” fully. After the crop, push the play button again, to set the image size.

There are different reason for getting such message. It could mean that you have renamed your background layer, or your Photoshop is running in other language than English and do not understand “…. Background” command. Most of the actions call upon the background, which means it need one to work properly. Create a merged layer of your work, and name it “Background” so that you can use the action.
