Alright folks! I had a problem using a 3rd party filter with actions and have learned of a solution:
Turning off "output to new layer" feature. it is supposed to be found under the preferences menu, however in the article it doesnt state which version of photoshop they are using.
Im using CS4 on my school’s macs, and would love to find out how to disable output to new layer. . .
Here is the instructions:
There is an easy solution. The "Create Output In New Layer" feature is incompatible with actions. It makes the filter do nothing. Just uncheck the "Output to New Layer" option to disable this feature. In Exposure and Image Doctor, there is a feature that allows you to turn this off permanently (until you turn it back on). Type Command+K (Mac) or Control+K (Windows) to bring up the Preferences window. At the bottom, click the checkbox "Disable Output On New Layer". If you still want the option of having a separate layer and the fine tuning it allows, just duplicate the layer (command/control J) within the action prior to running the filter and the action will still run fine.
Anyone know where to find this in PS CS4???
Much thanks and appreciation in advance!
