Actions IndexAfter loading actions you will see total of 13 actions. Here I will list and explain what each of actions is doing.• Actions which names starts with XX Pieces are actually creating effect. Play this

actions with Background layer only, if you have layered file flatten it from Layer >Flatten Image.

• Scale Styles is action to scale Layer Effects: Drop Shadow and bevel and Embosswhich are included in final effect and part of action. At the end of action you willsee Layer Style dialog where you can adjust setting for effects but I believe it iseasier to accept defaults by clicking OK and later to scale them. Run this actionafter creating effect (after running any of first 13 actions listed) and without anyextra layers created.

• Clear Style action will delete or remove any effect applied.• Style 1-3 are additional Layer Styles which you can use to decorate created strips.
