---action to make different frames---
- Click-and-hold (Windows users right-click)
'action image' on the left.
- From the menu that appears, choose 'Save
Link As', 'Save Target As' or 'Download
Link to Disk'.
- Choose where you would like to save
the file and then click 'Save'. If prompted
to save as either 'text' or 'source',
choose 'source'.

How to load an action
- Put the .ATN file in a directory of
your choice. It does not need to be in
the Photoshop directory.
- Choose Load Actions from the Actions
palette menu.
- Locate and select the action set file.
(In Windows, Photoshop action set files
have the extension .atn.)
- Click Load.

How to use this action
| Wooden
Frame and Blue Plastic Frame
- Open the photofile.
- Choose the action and click on the 'play
button' on the bottom of the action palette.
- It will stop once to ask you how big you
want your frame. At the Image size dialogue
box, I usually put 5cm bigger amount than
the original image size, but it will depend
on your original image size. Put the number
down and click OK.
- Done!
I used Wooden Frame Action to make all the
frames on this 'Assignment Page'.

| Iroiro
Frame (Various Frames)
- Same step as 'Wooden Frame' till #3.
- Then another dialogue box will show up
to ask you what kind of frame you like.
At 'Fill' dialogue box, choose the pattern
you like, or any kind of color. ( if you
want to choose color, you need to set your
foreground color before you start the action.)
- Blending mode - Multiply
Opacity - 50% ( As you like)
- Then click on OK. It will be done in a
second.
Try different patterns to get different effects.
