Hi,

Thanks for purchasing the Shatter Photoshop action.

This action has been tested and working on Photoshop (English versions) CS3,CS4,CS5,CS6,CC.

The action will only work on English versions of Photoshop.

It is highly recommended to work with photos over 1500px high/wide for the best results.


******IMPORTANT - PLEASE WATCH DEMONSTRATION VIDEO BELOW************

The video below will demonstrate how to use the action and how you can optimise the look
of your design after the action has finished.

HOW TO INSTALL THE ACTION
------------------------------------------------------

1. Inside Photoshop, go to the 'Window' menu and select 'Actions'. A window
will now appear to the right hand side.

the drop down menu. From here select 'Load Actions...'. Select the action which
came with the download.

3. The action will now appear in the actions panel.

HOW TO USE THE ACTION
------------------------------------------------------

1. Open a photo to work with

2. Leave the photo layer locked and set as the 'Background'. To set your photo
as the Background, select your photo layer and go to the menu 'Layer' --> 'New'
--> 'Layer from Background..'. Please also refer to the video tutorial if you need
more help here.

3. Create a new layer above the background layer called 'brush'. Must be all lowercase.

4. With the 'brush' layer selected, brush onto the areas of
your photo that you want to shatter. Use a hard brush and you can 
use any color.

5. Now hit the play button found at the bottom of the action panel.

6. After the action has started, a window will open asking you to select
one of the textures that came with the download. Select a texture and hit 'OK'.
Now move/scale/rotate the texture over your photo and hit 'Enter' to accept it
and then the action will continue.

7. Finished! Now you can experiment with moving the layers around or even running
the action again using a different textures to get unique results.

Again please watch the above video tutorial for a demonstration of these
steps.

If you would like to add some color grades to your design after the action has finished,
I highly recommend 'Photo Master'
