Why do I see this error: "The command "duplicate" is not currently available?" Why do I see this error: "The command "set" is not currently available?" Can I use these actions on high-resolution photos, for printing? Can I use these actions on websized photos? How can I remove a mat or frame and try another? How can I control the width of the bevel on the beveled mats? What versions of Photoshop will these actions work with? Will these actions work with Photoshop Elements? The action is behaving strangely, and none of these questions and answers help. What now? Why do I see this error: "The command 'duplicate' is not currently available?"There are two likely causes:
Also, if you are using Photoshop 6 or 7, make sure your image is in 8-bit mode. 16-bit mode is fine for Photoshop CS. Back to Top Why do I see this error: "The command 'set' is not currently available?"Your image mode is probably not compatible with the actions. Examples of incompatible modes are indexed color and multi-channel. Convert your image to one of the other modes, such as RGB, CMYK, Lab, or Grayscale before running the actions.Also, if you are using Photoshop 6 or 7, make sure your image is in 8-bit mode. 16-bit mode is fine for Photoshop CS. Back to Top Can I use these actions on high-resolution photos, for printing?Yes. This action set contains actions for both high-resolution and websized images.Back to Top Can I use these actions on websized photos?Yes. This action set contains actions for both high-resolution and websized images.Back to Top How can I remove a mat or frame and try another?Before an action is run, a snapshot is added to the History window. To return to a previous state, you can go to your History window and click the snapshot.If you've run more than one action in a row on an image, the history snapshots will take you back to the state before the last one. If you need to go back farther, your best bet may be to select "Revert" from the Photoshop File menu. This will reload the image from disk, undoing all the changes you made since you opened it. This is one reason why it's always a good idea to save your file before adding mats :) Back to Top How can I control the width of the bevel on the beveled mats?The actions come with two widths of bevels:
If you want finer control, you can tell the action to stop at two places (see the screenshot below). Click the indicated empty rectangles to put an icon there. The next time you run the action it will stop twice to let you indicate the width of the bevel.
