INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CS Actions:
1. After extracting the .zip file, Select the .atn file that came in your download folder. Right-click and hit Copy.
2. Navigate to your Photoshop Actions folder on your computer (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop CS/Presets/Photoshop Actions)
(You could load it straight from the download folder, but it’s a good idea to keep a copy of all your actions in the Photoshop Actions folder.)
3. Right-click and hit ‘Paste’ to paste the action into the Photoshop Actions folder.
4. Launch Photoshop.
5. Click on the Actions tab. (If you aren‘t sure where this is, go to Window>Actions and the panel will pop out.) You’ll see a list of actions that come pre-installed with Photoshop. Now click on the little button in the top right corner of the Actions palette (the button with the downward pointing arrow and four horizontal lines) and select “Load action”.
6. Look for the ATN file you just saved when the pop up file browser comes up, Once you’ve found the .atn file, select “Load”.
Elements Actions:
Elements Action installation can be kind of tricky, click here for intricate step-by-step instructions. This blog has even got very thorough troubleshooting advice, should you need it!
Overlays and Textures:
Overlays and Textures require no installation at all.
Once the zip file is extracted, simply open Photoshop, and use File>Open to navigate to the folder you saved your products in. Then just double click the one you would like to use, and it opens like a regular photo. To apply them, grab your move tool and drag and drop the product onto the image you are editing.
Use Free Transform to size the product to fit your image. You can also move or transform it if you wish. Then change the blend mode and opacity for different effects. Layer masks can be added as well to remove or soften the look of the overlay or texture from any area it is too strong. For video tutorials, visit the following links:
Sky Overlays:
Sky overlays also require no installation, however, their application is a little different than other overlays.
1. Once the zip file has been extracted, open Photoshop and go to File>Open and navigate to the one you would like to apply. Then double-click to open like a regular photo.
2.Use your move tool to grab the sky and drag and drop it onto the photo you are editing.
3. Blur the sky using a Gaussian blur if necessary. (If your background is out of focus, blurred skies look more natural.)
4. Free Transform the sky so that it fully covers the sky you want to replace.
5. Turn the visibility of the sky layer off.
6. Select your background layer and then grab your Magic Wand tool. Set the Tolerance numbers at the top of your screen.to 30.
7. Using the Magic Wand tool, click on the sky or blown out area you want to replace. If there are more sections to the sky that you need to select, hold down your shift key and click on those areas as well. Once your entire sky has been selected, click on the Sky layer in your Layer Panel and turn the visibility back on.
8. Hit the layer mask button at the bottom of your layers panel to turn your selection into a mask. 9. Then, using a paintbrush, paint onto the mask to refine the edges of the sky and blend it in. (White adds more sky to areas it’s missing from, black will remove the sky from areas that you don’t want it.) 10. You may adjust opacity or blend mode of the sky as well to achieve different looks.
