Thanks, Mark! I'll use that Create Custom Shapes action on occasion as I have a large collection of dingbats.
Here's an action which I use a great deal. Alistair figured out how to do it and it was a very clever use of PS commands. I was after an action which would 'flatten' a layer with styles applied so I could then apply another filter and have it affect the previously applied style effects.
You would get this result if you created a new layer above a styled layer, linked them and Merge Linked. (Alternatively you could create a new layer below the styled layer, highlight the styled layer and Merge Down.)
As I use the technique sometimes dozens of times on an image I sought a one click answer. Assign an F-key to the Rasterize Style action and there you have it. (There are no restrictions on this simple action and it works for sure with PS 7 & 8)
