HOW TO USE AN  ‘ACTION’  IN  PHOTOSHOP TO PRODUCE A PDI WITH KEYLINE TO DCC COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS. By Barrie Ward

On the subject of producing compliant images for PDI competitions, I've created a couple of Photoshop actions that will convert the image to SRGB; resize it to the correct dimensions; and put a 2 pixel white border around it.

If you use windows, right-click on the action and at the bottom you will see properties.

Click on that, and you will be taken to the General tab.

About a quarter of the way down on the left is a title called "opens with" and on the right is a button which says "change". Click on that button and click on Photoshop.

The action is now associated with Photoshop.

Double-click on the action, and it will open photoshop and install the action.

Alternatively, place the action in this folder –

C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [Version]\Presets\Actions. If you're on a Mac it's - /Users/[YourUsername]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [Version]/Presets/Action.

 Save these files (1) and this file (2) on a desktop file, or add to the Adobe Photoshop Action folder as described above.
