Atomic Cupcake Folded Tear Action
for Photoshop 7.0, Photoshop CS, or Photoshop CS2

Part I -- Installation

1. Copy the "atomic_cupcake_foldedtear.atn" file to the location of your choice.

2. Open Photoshop. Open the Actions palette (from the "windows" menu section).

3. Click on the triangle button in the top corner of the Actions pallette and click "load actions" Open the file from the location you chose in step 1.



Part II -- Using the Action

1. Select the shape you want with the marquee tool or use select--all to select the shape of the layer you're on. The area should be quite large, at least 900x900. If you try to run it on something smaller you will get errors.

2. Choose the color you want the back of the paper to be.

3. Click on the name of the action in the Actions palette "atomic_cupcake_foldedtear"

4. Press play. (The triangle button at the bottom.)



The torn version will be created in a new document -- leaving your original item in it's original condition. The edges are pretty random. If you don't like where the folds end up, just close it and run the actions again on the original. Ink your edges first for a really cool shabby look!
