MariJ Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Please help. I am trying to install Syndee Nuckles' Resize It action. Directions say to install the styles first. I have two folders for PSE - one with 16 .atn and 16 .png files and one with an .atn file that is an action player. I'm confused as to what's an action, what's a style and what I should install? Do I install all of the .atn and .png files and the action player into the location indicated in the instructions? That would be 33 files all together. I'm working on a Mac in PSE 6 (Syndee told me it works in PSE 6) and I can follow the correct path from the instructions, I'm just not quite sure what to install. Thanks for any help!

Belle Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sorry Marilyn I can't help. I've got a PC and PSE 9. I just bunged everything into Add-O-Matic and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks Belle. I think that what I'm working on/in doesn't matter as much as I know where to install it, I'm just not sure if I should be installing all of those files in there. Hmmmmmm. Maybe I should look into Add-o-matic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiza126 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The .atn files are the actual actions; the .png files are the thumbnail images. So yes, you need to install all of these individual files into the location of the instructions. I don't think PSE6 has an action player (I'm pretty sure that feature didn't appear until pse 8 or 9), so you can probably skip that one. P.S. - Styles would be .ASL files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Oh THANK you Theresa. Good explanation and exactly what I was wondering - the terms confuse me and I'm never sure what is what!

Maybe I should look into Add-o-matic! Marilyn, the last I heard was that Add-O-Matic is for PC only. I know several people have looked for it for MAC, but I don't think it exists. Maybe the Add-O-Matic people will create one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiza126 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 And yes, right now it looks like Add-O-Matic is only for PCs. Which is a shame...I LOVE it and use it for all my installations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks, Tiza for the explanation of the different file names! I never made those connections before. And, MariJ, I install the .pngs along with the .atn's and it seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
