I have provided action files, for use in Photoshop, that will create flat previews perfect for Work In Progress covers. By splitting the image into 3 pieces, it allows you to clearly see what the 3 individual parts of the cover would look like, as well as the overall design. While it is not going to become a rule of the site to make you use this method of previewing WIP's, I would like to encourage all members to do so. Each download comes with full instructions, a PSD file and a ATN file. The PSD file contains the template of the case, and the action contains all the necessary commands to put the preview together. Simply load the preview PSD, paste your cover and hit play! All you have to do then is save :)

Great Job mate. This is brilliant. Especially for those without a PC to hand and only use Mac's. Imandex thing wont work on a mac.

I would have patented it! :whistle:

Perfect.
It has been a long time. Still two years to go.

My version of Photoshop (Elements 4.0) doesn't feature an "Actions Window" or "Load Actions" function as described the instructions, and slipping the file into the Filters or Effects directories doesn't seem to work either (like it does with Brushes). Help a brutha out?
