Downloading 'actions' for Photoshop - getting them to work?

Hi, I've downloaded one of the freeware 'actions' for Photoshop and saved it to the 'plug-ins' folder in the 'photoshop' folder but nothing seems to be appearing in Photoshop. Have I done this right? or do I need to move the 'action' elsewhere?I've downloaded plenty of fonts and they've all appeared on Photoshop fine.
Thanks for any help.

The plug-ins folder isn't the right place. Basically they just have to be in a known location but the normal one is in the Presets\Actions folder in the CS4 folder* under app data.
You then load them via the Actions palette drop-down menu.

  • My apps aren't working on my ipod after the new download, how do i get them to work?

    My apps aren't working on my ipod touch after I downloaded the most recent version. How do i get my apps working again?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Download/install a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory daults/new iPod.

  • Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If still no luck, try downloading another free app from the App Store.

    Lastly, try to restore the iPod from a previous backup or restoring it to factory settings.

  • I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
    The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
    Thanks for your input!

  • I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

    I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for providing the model information.
    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
    Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
    Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
    Please post back your results.

    Frank

    Thanks for the info, this really helps.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on  AirPort Extreme.
    The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.

  • All photoshop cs4 tools are not responding. how do I get them to work, again?

    all photoshop cs4 tools are not responding. how do I get them to work, again?

    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • Download error for Photoshop Elements 11

    I am trying to download Photoshop Elements 11 and keep getting an error that my browser is "out of date/IE4 or earlier" but I currently have Internet Explorer 10 on my computer.  Why have I gotten this error about 10 times.  I have also downloaded the most current Adobe Reader and Flash Player which has not made a difference.

    I just bought an iPad 2 and a iPad keyboard dock and can't get them to work together.  What do I need to do?

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck

    Hi tonys60181,
    Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
    What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
    Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
    What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
