Atomic Cupcake Painted Edge Action
for Photoshop 7.0, Photoshop CS, or Photoshop CS2

Part I -- Installation

1. Copy the "atomic_cupcake_paintedge.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. Use your marquee or lasso tool to select an area. Select>>All works if you want to select the whole layer. The area should be at least 600 pixels tall and wide (if it is smaller the paint will cover the whole item). 

2. Select a color with your color picker. The action will use this for the paint color.

3. Click on the name of the action (not the action folder) in the Actions palette "atomic_cupcake_paintedge"

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


The painted version will be created in a new document -- leaving your original paper or photo in it's original condition. Try layering other paint colors or our other effects over it for a neat two tone effect.
