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. Open the image you would like to ink.

2. Select the layer you want inked and use the marquee tool to select the area you would like to tear ("select all" will choose the whole layer.) The area should be at least 600 pixels tall and wide.

The inked version will be created in a new document -- leaving your original document in it's original condition. Try running another inked edge in a different color over the first for a cool two-tone effect.
