Hey Dont Blame "ME" if Links doesnt work.
and there are so many links are here so plz be patient

3-D Painter
Mike Warren's new action gives a 3D painted look to an image.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/mike_w_3d_painter_atn.zip

Airbrushing Action set
This will keep you busy for awhile. Ronald Clercx explains: Because I
am a graphic designer, not an illustrator, I've marveled at people who
could do airbrush effects, which are very hard to achieve manually. So
I developed at action set that should make it easier.

The actions are not one-click run-stop actions. They guide an iterative
process. Along with the actions, download Ronald's notes and tips.

Alabaster Portrait
Feivel's exciting new action is designed for portraits. The rollover
provides a dramatic before and after demonstration. If high tone
portraits cause you high anxiety, stay away. But if a distinctive,
romantic portrait look is what you're after, you'll find it here.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/AlabasterPortrait.zip

AutoColor
On some images, Photoshop's auto color adjustment does a great job, but
on others, it doesn't come close. Shane's action takes a different
approach, by separating light, dark, and mid-range tones and applying
individual color correction. It doesn't work on all images, but try it
on under saturated natures and scenics. The last step in the action
allows you to adjust opacity.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/auto-color.zip

Cartoon Action
Maureen stumbled across this technique for turning a photo into a
cartoon or comic. Sharon was kind enough to offer to put it into an atn
format for her, so it could be submitted here.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Maredas_Cartoon.zip

Comix Actions
Two actions-monochrome and color- that turn photos into comic book
images with an outline, shadow and a blank layer to paint in solid
colors (or hide to show the photos true colors). The size of the image
effects the detail level, larger images will have more details.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Comix_Actions.zip

Custom Vignette 2.0
Galen Evans originally designed this subtle effect designed for Canon
RAW images of 2052x3076, but this revision allows you to adjust the
action for an image of any size. After inviting you to select an area
of interest, it darkens the remaining area, throws it slightly out of
focus, and adds contrast to the subject. Here's a technique I saw at
Wisconsin Public Television recently: On a portrait, select the eyes
and, at the end of the action, reduce opacity to diminish the effect.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Custom_Vignette_v2.0.zip

Dave Beaman's Ethereal Glow
This small action has been getting a lot of action on dpreview
recently. The rollover shows what it does with a color photo, but try
it with a black and white as well. Thanks to Feivel for sending Dave to
this site.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Ethereal_Glow.zip

Dave's IR Actions
Dave Jaseck recreates infrared looks in digital imaging with this set
of actions. There's plenty of opportunity for you to tweak the image to
get far out ... or way in.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Dave's_IR.zip

Dave's Simplifier v.2
>From Dave Jaseck, an updated version one of my favorite actions.
Simplifier provides a painted effect by eliminating unimportant color
detail. Don't confuse this with posterization. The histogram shows a
lot of detail, rather than a staircase effect.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Daves_Simplifier_v2.zip

Dodging and Burning
A straightforward approach to dodging and burning that creates two
adjustment layers, one for each effect. You paint on the layer masks in
black or white (white adds the effect, while black erases it) ... then
adjust the opacity for the degree of dodging or burning you wish. In
the example, the burn layer is at 100%, while the dodge layer is 22%.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Dodging_Burning.zip

Dragan Action
Mike Warren created an action to show what can be done using various
layers of the original (in Soft Light, Hard Light and Color Burn Mode
along with a Curve Adjustment layer) layered over a Tritone conversion.
The Tritone creates a grayscale image and adds a colorcast. You can
adjust the curve in the Black to control contrast and shadow
details-experiment with this on different images. The other two colors
affect the overall tone; adjust these colors to taste. Load the Action,
open the file named Original Run Action, and use the Burn tool to
emphasize wrinkles
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/MW_Dragan_Action.zip

Dragan Monochrome
Mike found that many of you were using his Dragan action for monochrome
images. To retain the full dynamic range, he's developed this action
that draganizes color images and converts them to mono in one step.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/MW_BW.zip

Draganizer
Sharon has developed an action version of the Dragan effect that has
been the subject of much discussion on dpreview.com. Experiment with
this approach and with Kent Christiansen's "Grundge Effect" on
this site and use the one that gets the closest to the effect you're
trying to achieve. Other examples are available at this link.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Draganizer.zip

Edgarian Blur
Howard Owen has produced an attractive blur action for portraits and
named it for the man who described the technique, Albert Edgar, PhD.,
in the January, 2001 issue of PEI. "This effect uses mathematically
related Gaussian blurs and fades to produce a misty, dreamlike blur,"
Howard writes. I concur. Instructions in the action.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Edgarian_Blur_2.0.zip

Emboss Glow
Mike Warren's action does what it claims, embossing the detail and
embellishing it with a wonderful glow. Use it as-is or apply it to a
background copy on which you reduce opacity. If you do that, you can
also play with blending modes to achieve a different effect.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/MikeW_emboss_glow.zip

Glamor Blur
Glamor Blur does what its name suggests. After flattening the image, it
blurs skin tone but, by finding edges, keeps details such as hair in
place. As a variation with a complex background to which you don't want
the blur applied, select the face with a slight feather, select
inverse, cut, rename this as a new document, run the action on it, then
copy it into the original document as a new layer, and apply darken
mode.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/glamblur.zip

Gothic Glow
Gothic Glow gives a glowing and feathering effect to an image. It can
be applied to either the entire image or to just a selection, depending
on which version of the action you select.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/gothicglow.zip

Grundge Effect Action
Kent reports that this action is more of a "tutorial" of a way to
achieve a grundge type effect on people shots rather than a 'shortcut'
to a Dragan style. He suggests that users control click through the
action checking out each step. Begin with a well exposed image in which
none of the channels are blown out. The action allows for several
user-chosen modes, yet the defaults should work well on good images.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Kents_Grundge.ZIP

LensBlur
This action mimics the effect of the popular "LensBaby," which Kent
urges you to try because no Photoshop effect can duplicate it entirely.
The action has 3 main aspects: A motion and radial blur; a noise and
chromatic aberration routine; and a vignette. You can use the first
action alone or in any combination. The noise and CA part is written
for both CS or earlier versions of PS. It has built in flexibility and
is not a 'one click' action, although running just the first action is
quick and gets good results. Kent suggests trying the default settings
at first, then experimenting. He thanks Danny R for help in crafting
the action and Pam R for her insights on the actual effect and the
vignette idea.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Kent_slensblur-djr-pr.zip

Midnight Action Collection
Dave Jaseck has pulled his four popular "midnight" actions together
into one set--Midnight Blue, Gold, Sepia--and the new Midnight Black.
These at last equal and may surpass some commercial filters designed to
achieve the same effects. The color tone can be adjusted by putting an
action stop at the color balance step.
Also included is an Elements2 version for use with Ling's snapAction
interface. The .atn files go into Elements's "Presets/Photoshop
Actions" folder. The .xml file goes into Elements's
"HTMLPalettes/Recipes/LUI/add" folder. Then run snapActions and you
should see "Menu: Dave Jasecks's Midnight actions" on the Left. Move it
to the Right and hit Generate.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Midnight_Action_Collection.zip

Midnight Sepia, v.2
I am convinced that Dave Jaseck never sleeps. Lucky thing for us. Dave
has updated his favorite action, Midnight Sepia, to overcome issues
reported to him in version 1 with certain types of images.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/MidnightSepiav2.zip

Paint with Light
Chip's action creates two layers, Use both layers to bring out this
dynamic effect. Grab a white brush (10-15% opacity) to paint Light on
the Color Dodge layer. Grab a black brush (10-15% opacity) to add
shadows and bring out the drama with the Color Burn Shadow layer. You
may need to use higher opacity brushes on some pictures. If using a
Wacom tablet, you may also want to adjust flow control.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Paint_with_Light.zip

Paint with Light II
Chip's Paint with Light II will bring out details in shadows and
highlights. It is similar to his other PWL action, but does not use the
burn modes, leaving a more natural, but equally dramatic
look-especially effective for black and white. Run the action, pick a
soft black or white brush, and start painting. You can also use it as a
gray layer for adding filters such as texturizing. Play with different
layer modes to alter effects.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Paint_W_Light_II.zip

Portrait Effect
This action desaturates a portrait and gives you control over degree of
saturation, contrast, background blur and soft focus.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/portrait_effect.zip

Sepiatone
Another action from Andy Purviance, this uses a duotone approach to
create a sepiatone effect.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sepiatone.zip

Skin Fix v.1
Kent Chrisiansen's "Skin Fix" is a set of actions for smoothing skin.

The first action 'Basic skin fix' is quick and easy and utilizes a
method laid out in the dpr retouch forum by *isteve who found it by
accident. It involves using the high pass filter, inverted and set to
soft light. Kent added a layer mask to reveal details in eyes, lips,
and other areas.

The second action also employs the gaussian blur along with the high
pass filters which tends to brighten up the effects of the gblur. By
putting the original background on top of the layer with those filters,
one can 'paint' in the softness and use brush opacity to determine how
soft a look one wants to achieve. This and the last action has
subsequent layers beyond skin smoothing for contrast, color toning and
cloning and healing, although one can stop at any point.

The third action is similar to the first in that it employs the high
pass, invert, soft light scheme, where you paint in sharpness instead
of softness which the action creates, but like the second action, it
adds contrast and color adjustments and clone/healing capabilities.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/KentC_skinfix_v1.ZIP

Soft Focus Action, v.2
Version 2 of Daniel Chui's soft focus action is now a set that provides
small and large photo versions for each of several effects-color,
monochrome, and cross-toned images. A quick, easy approach to light
portrait retouching.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Chuisoftv2.zip

Velvia-Provia v. 2
This suite of actions reproduce the selective color, contrast, and
saturation boost of Velvia film and the shadow detail of Provia film.
The effects are adjustable from minimal to maximum. All steps are done
on a copy of the original photo. It should be used as the last step in
your process, before resizing and sharpening. There are two versions
here, one for Photoshop, the other for Photoshop Elements 2.0 Photoshop
Elements
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/velvia_provia2.zip

Watercolor
This action helps you to create a beautiful watercolor effect from any
image. It takes a bit of work on your part, all of which is explained
in this tutorial posted on dpreview. The action sets up all the layers
automatically so that you select your prefered brush and go to work.
Erick has changed all the default layer names, since he works in the
French version of PS.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/watercoloraction.zip

B&W Sketch
Sharon Lee Core presents two sketch actions, one requiring little user
intervention, the other inviting a bit more playing. The rollover
example, taken in an historic Charleston graveyard, uses the simpler
interface ... and works just great! (Incidentally, these actions also
allow you to add back color.)
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sharons_BW_SKETCH.zip

Caricature Sketch
While reading a thread on dpreview on caricatures, Sharon got the idea
for this action. So she wrote it. And it's great.( So how can we get
her to read more threads on dpreview? Then we wouldn't have to do any
work at all.) The zip file contains both the action and a Word document
Sharon prepared that explains how to use Liquefy to create a caricature
and offers suggestions for finishing the caricature image after running
the action.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Caricature_Sketch.zip

Colored Sketch
Sharon has worked and worked on this action, incorporating advice from
Danny Raphael and others. The result is a masterpiece. Just run it on
an appropriate image and follow the instructions. I've had great
results on scenes of Charleston's historic district
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sharons_Colored_Sketch.zip

Dave's Sketch
A set of sketch actions from Dave Jaseck in two flavors--a straight
line sketch and a version that adds back some color for a Currier and
Ives look.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Daves_Sketch.zip

Mitch's Sketch Action
"I was feeling unproductive because it seemed that everyone in this
forum had his/her own sketch action except me," Mitchell Weitz said on
dpreview.com, "so I decided to do something about it." Here is that
something: Mitch's sketch action. Mitch, we hope the spirit moves you
again.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Mitch's_Sketch_Action.zip

Pen & Ink
Turns a photograph into a pen and ink drawing.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/pen_inktb.zip

Rough Pastels
Frequent visitors to dpreview.com have seen numerous examples of Isabel
Cutler's sketch techniques. Now she and Sharon Lee Core have joined
forces to turn her rough pastels technique into an action. See more
examples of this action in action at this link.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Isabels_Pastel_Sketch.zip

Sheri's Sketch Action (PS) 2.1
>From Sheri Pierce, sketch actions for Photoshop 6 and above. There are
three actions in the set: "Sheri's Sketch CS", "Sheri's Sketch 2 Max"
and "Sheri's Sketch 2 Lt". The CS version uses a new Photoshop feature
called Layer Comps to produce five variations in a single document. It
will not work properly on earlier versions.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sheris_Sketch_2.1_For_Photoshop.zip

Sketch
Alex developed this sketch action from a tutorial on wetcanvas.com
based on a technique developed by Trimoon, Photoshop artist Stephen
LeQuire. (Stephen's own actions are available on his website.) Alex
also credits photographer Cathy Sheeter with helping him develop the
color steps.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sketch.zip

B&W Selective Color 2.2
Kent's B&W Selective Color 2.2 is a new version of an action Kent
Christiansen developed to provide control in making a monochrome
version of a color image. This new version adds stops and a new action
using a CMYK channel mixer/Selective Color combo which can give a
higher contrast image
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Kent's_B&W_selective_color2_2.zip

Danny's Black and White Actions v.5
Version 5 of Danny Raphael's set of black and white actions that
convert color to grayscale. The example shows the third action which
creates 11 monochrome versions using RGB, CMYK, and LAB channels and
channel mixer variations. Also included is a method developed by John
Paul Caponigro and three other approaches. The readme action that
begins this set provides an overview.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/MW_BW.zip

Duotone Dreams
This simple action creates a duotone that looks as though you spent a
great deal of time on it. It works best on a 4-6 MB file or a 5x7 240
ppi image. The action allows you to choose any Pantone color or opt for
the default.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Duotone_Dream_v2.zip

Thomas Niemann's Tones
An entertaining and very useful action developed by Danny Raphael from
a description by Portland's own Thomas Niemann on his site. When the
action has run, you can modify it by turning layers on and off and
playing with the opacity settings.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Niemann_Tones.zip

TLR B&W Conversation
This is the current version of Glenn Mitchell's black and white action
set, with some help Danny Raphael in naming the Quick B&W layers. The
zip includes a readme.pdf and his Action Basics .pdf. For more info on
how to use this set, go to this tutorial on Glenn's website at The
Lights Right Studio.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/TLR_B&W_Conversion.zip

TLR Sepia Tint
The sepia tone effect in Glenn Mitchell's action set uses a twist on a
popular method of black and white conversion. The technique is fast and
easy, and you have control over the results.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/TLRSepiaTint.zip

3D Product Box
Here's a great little toy from Andy Purviance. It creates a small
icon-the example is full size-with your favorite photo packaged in
a box against a white background with a shadow.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/3D_Product_Box.zip

Andrea's Borders
Test Frame Example These are not actions, but zipped PDF files, so the
files are large. Combine one with your image for a believable negative
or Polaroid border. Suite A contains three Polaroid-like borders. Suite
B contains a fourth, an Ektachrome border, and two that create the 6x6
edge that you would get from a Hasselblad camera. Suite C provides a
Kodak 160 NC transparency film look and is smaller in size than the
others. Test frame provides a 7 x 10 cm template, and the file contains
instructions.

Bronze Plaque
Sharon Lee Core has come up with a unique bronzing action, and the
example is sufficiently humorous to be worth the click.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sharons_Bronze_Plaque.zip

Bud's Actions
>From Bud Guinn, some great toys to play with. Brushes, palettes, tiled
images like the thumbnail example shown, and more.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Buds_Actions.zip

Bud's Brass Plaque
Also from Bud Guinn, an action that creates a brass plaque. Use the
Text tool to title it, Paste-into to add it as a layer on an image that
has a frame, and the Move tool to properly position it on the frame.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Brass_Plaque.zip

Bud's Frames
Over 30 framing actions to attractively set off your images. The sample
shows the Basic Matte, but there are rosewood frames, frames on
textured walls, and many others.Some of these actions prompt for input
from the user, and many offer customization tools by adjusting layer
properties.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Buds_Frames.zip

Bud's Signature's & Stuff
Various actions, of which this teakwood background with multiple images
is one of my favorites. Also includes logo, signature, and brass plate
actions. (Suggestion: while this works in 16 bit, I'd first make my
color adjustments, then use the mode command to convert to 8 bits, then
run the action.)
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Signatures_Stuff.zip

Bud's Wooden Frames
>From Bud Guinn, a set of 22 wooden frame actions. The example is
Japanese ash, which is not the best for this particular photo, but
shows up well in the thumbnail.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Buds_Wooden_Frames.zip

Bud's Wooden Mattes
More from Bud Guinn. This is a set of 22 wooden matte actions.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Buds_Wooden_Mattes.zip

Bud's EZMiter, v.1
This series of actions creates mitered mattes. You can select the matte
colors and textures. Read the instructions carefully, as there is an
instruction action which you are to read and then move.
NOTE: This is a big action, expanding to half a MB.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/EzMiter_v1.zip

Fracture
To reproduce the effect of Bud Guinn's "Bits and Pieces" action, as
shown in the above thumbnail, John Beardsworth has developed a script
called "Fracture." This is not an action, and must be copied to the
Presets folder in Photoshop 7 or CS. You run it from the File|Scripts
menu.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/fracture.zip

Marcia's Frame Actions
Marcia Fasy's frame action set includes:
-Gallery frame
-Matte and simple gold frame
-Wide matte and a narrow matte
-2 simple drop shadow mattes - one for light background and one for
dark background.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Marcias_frame.zip

Mike's Frame Actions
-Regular background landscape gallery (golden mean proportions)
-Light border landscape gallery frame (Golden mean)
-Portrait studio wall frame with large bevels and weighted bottom matte
proportions.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/mike_w_action.zip

Mike Brewer's Invariant Frame
Mike Brewer has spent weeks working on versions of this action to get
it just right. And it's worth it. This action allows a predictable and
uniform frame to be added to an image of any size and shape.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Mike'sInvariantFrameText_vd.zip

Out of Bounds, v.8
For some, it is not enough to live in the nation's most beautiful river
gorge at the base of one of its most beautiful mountains within view of
two more. (And the place where some claim John Kerry lost the
election.) All this, and you have to tinker! And so Terry Alford of
gorgephotos.com gives us his PopOut-an image that extends a point of
interest beyond the frame.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/OutOfBoundsV8.zip

PopOut
Brian's version of PopOut action includes a Blend out instead of the
Hard Edged "PopOut". He has thoughtfully included a separate
tutorial that shows "how to use the action".
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/PopOut.zip

Sharon's Mattes
Sharon Lee Core provides a suite of new matte actions. The simple
example at left does not begin to show the possibilities.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sharons_Mats.zip

Dave's Sharpening Actions
Dave Jaseck has turned four accepted methods of sharpening into
convenient actions. "I don't claim to be the author of these techniques
but did put them in action form." Included are:
-RGB Edge Sharpening
-Green Channel Edge Sharpening
-Red Channel Edge Sharpening
-High pass sharpening
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sharpening_Actions.zip

Julian's Sharpener
A straightforward action that applies a degree of USM to separate
layers set to a darken and lighten mode. You adjust the opacity of each
of these two layers in turn to minimize the effect of the two blending
modes, then adjust final opacity.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Julians_Sharpening.zip

Sharpener, v.3
This action takes a bit of work and judgment on your part, but the
results can be quite rewarding. There are several stops where you make
decisions about how much effect to allow. The example I've provided is
extreme, but shows how well this action works.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Sharpening3.zip

TLR Sharpening Toolkit, v2.0b
This is version 2.0b Glenn Mitchell's Sharpening Toolkit, which has
been available on his website for some time. The .ZIP file contains the
action, a PDF ReadMe and Action Basics documents that describe the
action set and how to use it. Further information is available here:
Learning Gallery: Putting a Fine Edge on Your Sharpening Skills
Tip of the Week: Using Print Size During Sharpening
Tip of the Week: Dialing Back the Magnification When Sharpening

http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/TLRSharpeningToolkit.zip

Danny's Save as Layers Action
This action automates saving layers from a multi-layer image as
separate files. It's a capability added in Photoshop CS, but Danny's
action allows you to use it in previous versions. It will be useful for
those who need to import files of individual layers into other
applications, e.g., Flash (animation) or PageMaker
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/SavingLayersToSeparateFiles-djr.zip

Katrin Eismann's Fill Flash
Katrin Eismann's Photoshop Restoration and Retouching may be the best
practical guide to Photoshop in existence. One of Katrin's many handy
tips is a fill flash technique that Dave Jaseck has turned into an
action. Katrin has graciously allowed us to post it here.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Katrin_FillFlash.zip

Redeye Remover v.2
Kent Christiansen calls this set of actions written by Chip Springer
"one of the best and quickest ways to remove redeye, while maintaining
catch lights, texture." It also includes a green eye remover and a
tooth brightener. This new version has an additional level adjustment
layer to fix eye problems that the channel mixed adjustment layer
doesn't quite catch.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/redeye2.zip

Rule of Thirds
Instructions This action not only gives you a 3x3 grid for editing
purposes, it allows you to reposition the grid to match any format and,
after you are satisfied with the composition, crops the image. Download
the instructions and read them carefully, then try this out.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/RoTs.zip

Sheri's Shadow/Highlight Actions, v. 2b for Photoshop
This action set provides two actions-Classic Shadow-Highlight
Adjuster and Gradual Shadow-Highlight Adjuster-that allow you to
recover shadow detail and control highlights in images. This has been
tested with PS7 and PS CS. An informative readme file is included.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/sheris_v2b_shadow_highlt.zip

Keyboard Shortcuts
Photoshop CS2 keyboard shortcuts organized into four pages, by menu
commands and by key (alphabetically).
http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/PSCS2_Shortcuts.pdf

Photoshop CS2 Keyboard Shortcuts (KYS), Menu Customization (MNU) and
Workspace files, containing many additional shortcuts. 100% compatable
with default keyboard shortcuts. All detailed in the above PDF.
http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/PSCS2_TrevorsShortcuts.zip

Extended HotKeys (Action Set)
This action set enhances Photoshop's hotkey allocations.
* Contract Canvas allow you to contract a selection even if one or more
of the sides of the selection touch the canvas edge - which Photoshop
does not allow you to do with the standard Contract command. (See
Selection Secrets 2 for more details.)
http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/PSCSHotKeys15.atn

Autocrop Action
One particulary useful feature which Photoshop lacks (prior to version
6.0) is the ability to crop a non-rectangular selection. AutoCrop is a
simple, easy-to-use action (for Photoshop 5.x) which works on the
active layer. Simply select the appropriate layer, and AutoCrop does
the rest (leaving all of your layers in tact)!
http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/AutoCrop.atn
Installation

The next download includes all of the following actions...
Rounded Border
Rounded Border is a relatively simple action that adds a round-cornered
inset frame around the perimeter of the selected image. The frame /
border is added on its own layer and all original layers are preserved.
The action prompts for the inset distance, border thickness and color
(or you can, of course, accept the default values).

Canvas Center
Quite simply, this action places a horizontal and vertical guide at the
center of the canvas. Grab it from the downloads section below.

Canvas Thirds
Similar to Canvas Center, except that the horizontal and vertical
guides are added at 1/3 increments on the canvas. Grab it from the
downloads section below.

Canvas Quarters
Similar to Canvas Center, except that the horizontal and vertical
guides are added at 1/4 increments on the canvas. Grab it from the
downloads section below.

Contract Canvas
Contract Canvas allows you to use the Select » Modify » Contract
command even when one or more sides of the selection touches the canvas
boundaries. This action is also available as a part of the Photoshop 6
Extended HotKeys action set where it has been assigned a keyboard
shortcut for quick and easy access.

Relative Canvas Size
This action increases the canvas size by the same amount on all sides.
For example, if the canvas is 300 x 300 (pixels) and you enter 20
(pixels) for the amount, the resulting canvas size would be 340 x 340
(i.e. 300 + 20 + 20 = 340).

TV Lines Action
TV Lines is a Photoshop action which adds those "oh so cool" scan lines
to your image (on a separate layer - while preserving all of your
original layers).

The TVLines action comes in two flavours: TV Lines - Small adds a layer
of alternating black and transparent lines (using 100% Overlay), while
TV Lines - Big adds a more complex pattern (using 15% Overlay).
