Been lookin' to slap your own brand on some hide? Well, here it is, cowboy! Made to simulate the burned-in brand look, this action creates a dark burned border, with a textured center all over a rough leather-like background.

SUPPORT INFORMATION
Very easy, just play the action, put in your own text at the stop, and watch it work!

Starry Text Effect

This looks exactly like what it sounds like - an endless star field encapsuled by a glossy blue border. You get text full of a multitude of stars, novas and dying novas. At the end, the file is left unflattened and all the layers are put into a set for easy manipulation and movement.

SUPPORT INFORMATION
All that is required of you is simply that you enter your own text - the action does everything else for you!

Trees for the Forest Text Effect

This action set inspired by nature creates a textured wood border with bark-like text and optional foliage. Make your text look like it was just carved out of the woods! This effect actually contains two actions. The first one, "Bark", creates the wood border and barky interior, and the second action "Foliage" adds the leafy appearance at the top.

SUPPORT INFORMATION
All you need to do is just type in the text you want to use at the prompt, and then choose whether to run the second action after the first one finishes, or leave it as is!

A dual-action set, "Arizona" features "Sand" and "Adobe" effects. Both, however, have a definite south-west flare! "Arizona Sand" produces a yellow and brown textured text, while the "Adobe" version yields a spackled brown texture.

This is a very simple action set. All you have to is enter the text you want at the prompt.

Aquarium Text Effect

Description
Here is an effect which mimics the appearance of a water-filled aquarium inside your text. As you can see from the preview, the effect is translucent, so whatever you place behind the text will show through the effect. When the action is completed, it is left unflattened and the layers are neatly organized into a layer set for easy customization and movement into your project. The border, water, and glass are all left in their individual layers with layer effects intact.

Instructions
"Aquarium" is relatively simple to use. You are prompted to enter your own text at the appropriate time, and there is a prompt immediately preceeding a Free Transform option which allows you to place the water level at the appropriate height for the text you have entered. Other than that, you just sit back and watch the magic happen!

Water Droplets Text Effect

Description
Here's an action that makes an "Alphabits" type of an effect out of "water" and your text, placed on a tile floor. Oops! You have the option to change the color and saturation of the "water", so you can spill anything on the floor that you want! Also, there are stops that allow you to customize the amount of transparency that the text will contain. You'll want to look at this spill for a little while before you wipe it up!

Instructions
Just follow the instructions in the action itself which directs you to load in your extra contours, enter your own text, and then choose how much transparency to give the text via a couple of selection dialogs.

Graffiti Text Effect

Description
Somewhere in the city... in a dark alleyway... a punk marks his territory using all the artsy skill that he could have developed if he wasn't living on the street. Now you can have that work on your desktop with this action. Just watch out you don't get sprayed while the action is running :-).

Instructions
All you have to do is press play - just make sure the cops don't see you!

Grunge Text Effect

Description
This action takes your text, batters it, tears it, and puts it through the ringer to create this grungy effect! The effect looks a little different each time you run it, so you can use it multiple times and the results will never be identical. Additionally, you're given the option to customize the color and saturation to your own liking. Enjoy!

Instructions
Very easy to use. Just enter your own text at the prompt. There is a stop which allows you to adjust the color and saturation as well.

"Beams of Light" is one of my most popular actions of all time! This dramatic effect simulates the appearance of heavily backlit text with the light busting at the seams around the letters creating beams which expand in all directions.

In the second preview image, you'll notice that the beams are blue with a faded blue-gray text. This is another example of the built-in customization options of the action. Default values will produce a saturated medium-blue text with bright yellow beams exploding from around it. In this preveiw, I simply adjusted a couple of values at the stops inserted in the action.

Instructions
This action requires that your extra set of contours which came with Photoshop be loaded into the Preset Manager. Instructions are given on this within the action. For detailed instructions on this relatively simple process, see the "Loading Extra Contours" below. A couple of stops have been inserted which allow you to customize the color and saturation of both the text and the beams. Overall, it is pretty easy to run this action.

Q: Some of your actions talk about loading extra contours. What is that and how do I do it?
A: The contours I refer to in some of my older actions are the full set which Adobe ships with the Photoshop CD. Therefore, you probably already have them on your computer (unless you did a custom installation, and chose not to install some of the extras). However, if you can't find them, you may download them from this site via this link:

Adobe's Full set of Photoshop Contours (4K)

Once you have the contours on your computer, you'll need to load them into Photoshop. The easiest way to do this is to use the Preset Manager (Edit:Preset Manager). From the "Preset Type" Dropdown menu, choose "Contours". Then press "Load". At this point you should see the contours added to this list. Now just press "Done", and play the action! For what it's worth, you may want to keep the contours file on your computer in case you need to re-import them again at a later time.

Кроме того, конечно же надо всегда следовать указаниям, которые выскакивают во время проигрывания action.

И еще. Можно в Playback options выбрать опцию проигрывания шаг за шагом или паузу между каждым действием. И тогда можно не только наслаждаться результатом action, но и изучать что именно он делает, какие функции ФШ использует и так изучать возможности программы.

Плюс возле каждого действия есть маленький треугольник. Если на него нажать, то можно увидеть что именно это действие делает (как например на скриншоте выше видно какой именно документ создастся при действии "Make").

П.С. Хе-хе, коротко как всегда
