Many websites use facebook/twitter/other login for downloading files just to protect their resources and get a little promotion.
As far as I know, if you login with actions4photoshop, when you download the file it will post on your facebook wall that resource. reply

Hi Becky,

I am not familiar with Photoshop Elements 9, so I really don't know if it works or not. You can test it :) reply

You can easily fold paper in six with this Photoshop action. Play the first action from the set.

1. Open the layer style window for the "Layer 2" and simply drag and drop the Gradient Overlay on the screen to the left.
2. Duplicate the "Layer 2" and open the layer style window. Drag and drop the Gradient Overlay on the screen to the right.

If you want horizontal folded paper you have to duplicate the "Layer 1" and make the same steps. reply

Hi, the action is great, but I can only fold in four panels, and I need to fold a siz panel paper. Any chance I can do that? I don't know where to customize it. Thanks! reply
