Description
This is free for anybody to use. Big thanks to everyone that has added it to their favourites!How to use this action:
There is a file included that says how the action should be used, but it isn't completely correct, so here is the full how-to.
- Open an image in Photoshop
- Run Part 1 of the action
- Select a sharpness that you think looks good
- Click on the layer mask on the layer between the Levels layer and the Brightness/Contrast layer (if you have opened an image straight into Photoshop this should be called Layer 1)
- Select a black round brush big enough to cover all of the image but the corners at around 20% opacity
- Click on the centre of the image. Repeat until you are happy with the saturation
- Click on the very top layer
- Press cmd+alt+shift+e (Mac) or ctrl+alt+shift+e (PC)
- Rename the layer 'Layer 7'
- Run part two of the action
- Done
Enjoy!

I get the same error about "could not complete the command because the file could not be found"
it's happening on the "Make Adjustement Layer" step because that step is trying to use a file called "Green Filter.blw" which i dont have because it wasn't in the zip file.

I get this error during the Black and White layer part of the action. ????
Could not complete the command because actions that reference files can only be played on the same platform on which they were recorded.

When I try to use it in CS5 it goes through several steps and then this error pops up: "Could not complete the command because the file could not be found." Any ideas? Thank you so much in advance. I'm hoping I can figure this out, this action is by far my favorite from what I have seen.

Hope you don't mind, I've re-recorded the middle bit so that it plays perfectly on a Mac CS4... email me rminter@mintsalad.com and I'll send you the .atn
It still requires you to babysit the OK button but it gets to the end!

Fab on a PC CS3 and works flawlessly. But on iMac CS4 is not automatic and needs verification on each step. It then stops at 4th 'Make adjustment later' with the warning 'Could not complete the command because actions that reference files can only be played on the same platform on which they were recorded'.
I assume you recorded on a PC?

Hi, great action but like the rest, I got stuck with that same error. I'm using mac n cs5...and after checking the presets I have in CS5 folder, I do have Green Filter.blw. No idea why it got stuck. Are the steps similar to Mac, as in Windows?
Hope you can help out.
