ACs Special Chiseled Mat Actions -- Updates

by Adrienne Cleveland

1. Added the "ExtraWide" actions, which allow the creation of custom-size and asymmetrical mats.
   
   
2. Corrected the spelling of "mats."
   
   

1. Removed redundant steps to make the actions run faster.
   
   
2. Changed opacity of inner stroke to 50% for light mats.
   
   
3. Minor changes to copyright notice.
   
   

1. To allow Photoshop CS users to keep their images in 16-bit mode, and to allow more flexibility for all users, I removed the steps that change the image to 8-bit mode and RGB modes.
   
   This means that if your image is in indexed color mode or multi-channel mode, you will need to change it to RGB, Grayscale, Lab, or CMYK mode before running the actions.
   
   In addition, if you are using Photoshop 6 or 7, and your image is in 16-bit mode, you will need to change it to 8-bit mode before running the actions. 16-bit mode works fine for Photoshop CS.
   
   
2. Updated the Copyright statement.
   
   
3. Minor changes to the ReadMe file.
   
   

1. Simplified channel usage, reusing channels rather that deleting them and creating new channels. This results in fewer steps, speeding up the actions slightly.
2. Mats that require a little extra space at the bottom now use new "AddBottomSpace" actions.
3. Canvas expansions no longer use 100% for width. This works around an oddity in Photoshop that under certain conditions results in large increases in width rather than leaving them unchanged.

1. Initial Release.
