I thought that said "conversation..." What do we do with the file, it doesn't open.

if you have photoshop, you load it into photo shop and it's called an action. What that means is that you can open a photo and hit the "play" button on the action and it will automatically go through all the recorded steps i do to get the conversion i do.
Here's a sample of the conversions:

Oh, that's really cool. I'm such a *basic* Photoshop user!

Thanks Jackie! Thats great! I've actually seen you on ILP a few times. :tongue

Question about actions....how do you load the action into PS? I know, probably a total stupid question. I have seen several actions on ILP that I have wanted to use, but, feel dumb asking how to do it. LOL I have PSE4, I also have the free version of CS2 that I DL'd and it has never stopped working after the 30 day trial.:thumb

Oh, you're on ILP?! How cool! Whats your screen name?

When you want to load an action, just open up Explore to the file it's in, then drag the action onto photoshop. It'll auto install.

I use Paint Shop Pro to do my photo editing... I've turned a couple of my images into B&W too (like my profile pic...). It's so great what you can do these days with computers, aye?? I remember when I was a kid my parents gave me a camera that I had to actually buy flash bulbs for... Wow, that makes me sound ancient, huh?
