Here's a select group of ?actions for various functions.
There are no restrictions on these Actions. I'm giving them away here, so you can do what you want with them. My advice though is to customize them a little so they have your style, not mine.
1) Creating Custom Shapes: Vector Shapes that is. This action will convert any font set into a group of custom vector shapes, and save the group to your library. This is a good time saving action for those wishing to convert a dingbat type fontset into vector shapes.
This set contains actions for both PS7 & PS CS. But after some testing i've found that the PS7 action will work in PS CS with no problems.
NOTE: my apologies to the Mac users. Although you should be able to run these actions, you may get an error/dialogue window in the 1st one, asking you to choose a font to use; because the one used in the action is not on your system. I never intended to be passing out this action and as such i chose Arial as my default font. Verdana would've worked out better now i see, but it's a lot of work to change that part of the action now.
VERSION: 6(?)/7/CS -- (for v6 try using the PS7 action)
2) Credit Card Design Template: This action was originally created to help out someone with a problem, so the design is actually his (Darklin, over @ psT). But you can easily change a few steps to customize the look -- which is based pretty much on what photo is used for the bg.
VERSION: 6(?)/7/CS
3) Photo FX: This action creates 2 types of photo effects -- "aged film" and "antique photo". Both are customizeable by changing either layer opacity or blend modes used on the effected layers.
VERSION: 6(?)/7/CS
4) Thumbnail Maker: As it says... this action will speed up the making of thumbnails, at any of 4 specific sizes -- 60x60, 80x80, 100x100, 120x120px.
VERSION: 5+(?)/6/7/CS
And here's a quick-tip on using Actions: If there's any step in an action you wish to customize, simply open the action so you can see each step. Then look to the left of the step you wish to customize. If you see a small indented square there, put a check in it and PS will pause at that step, opening the dialogue window for you so you can manually set the parameters. When you click OK in the dialogue, the action should continue on as usual. ?
