Creating Thumbnails

Creating thumbnails requires some setting up. You will need to open Adobe Photoshop and orient yourself with the the Actions panel under the Window menu item.

1. Select the Windows menu item and select Show Actions, unless your Actions panel is already open.

2. The first three buttons control the actions the last three buttons organize them. We will only concern ourselves with the third button, the play button.

3. This where you have options regarding the actions. Select the button and a menu will appear like the one below.

Select Load Actions and then locate "PCC Photoshop Actions.atn", in folder of files that you downloaded.

Open one of the images treated by the Droplets. From the Actions panel, choose the correct image orientation and press play.
