Atomic Cupcake Messy Foam Action
for Photoshop 7.0, Photoshop CS, or Photoshop CS2

Part I -- Installation

1. Copy the "atomic_cupcake_messyfoam.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. Open the image you would like to turn into a foam stamped creation. 

2. Select the layer you want to look stamped, it can be a text layer, a custom shape, etc. If it is a custom shape layer, you should right click on it's name in the layer's pallette and rasterize it. For best results, text should be at least 600 pixels high. Thinner, smaller text will be more solid; larger text will look more lightly sponged in the centers of the letters.

3. Click on the name of the action in the Actions palette "atomic_cupcake_messyfoam" (Click on the action, not the folder it's in.)

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


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