Re: Photoshop CS2 Create Action Help

Hard to understand your question Aaron, but I think you're asking for THIS, which is part of the Action FX site.

(Think it's Al' Ward's site, not sure, but it's great for PS action stuff)

Re: Photoshop CS2 Create Action Help

An action is just what PhotoShop calls a macro.
Simplest way to do it would be within Photoshop, using their action palette.
The process is as described on the link I posted.
Just customise it to your own succession of key commands (including text).

You might want to remember to include a "STOP" command at the beginning of the action so you can position it correctly.

Incidentally, if you make it too small, you won't stop them stealing it, if you make it too large, you ruin the image.

You might also want to take a look at "watermarking" the images within PhotoShop, if they're your own and of value. This will involve registering yourself as a watermark holder but you can then protect all your images invisibly.

Re: Photoshop CS2 Create Action Help

The problem with that is; If you colour one of the transparent background squares, it's no longer a transparent background.
I think what you need to do is;
Open a new layer.
Grab your "Rectangular Marquee" tool.
Position it where you want to colour in.
Make it the size you want.
While the layer is still active, grab your "Paint" tool and click in that area, remebering to select the foreground colour you wish to use.

[edit: All of the above could also be assigned to an action as it is simply a recorder. It records your 'actions' within PhotoShop (clue's in the name ).]

Re: Photoshop CS2 Create Action Help

Just found THIS which might be closer to what you're looking for.

On my favourite PS site as well. Dunno how I missed it before.
