Atomic Cupcake Sanded Away Action
for Photoshop 7.0, Photoshop CS, or Photoshop CS2

Part I -- Installation

1. Copy the "atomic_cupcake_sandedaway.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. Choose a layer you want to sand away. The area should be quite large, at least 1800x1800. If you try to run it on something much smaller you'll end up with nothing leftover from the sanding.

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

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

4. Paste the finished item over another background.

The sanded version will be created in a new document -- leaving your original item in it's original condition.

Run it on a solid paper and place it over a patterned one, or use two patterned papers, and so on!
