Focal Zoom Photoshop Action

THINGS TO CHECK AND REMEMBER 1 . Your photo is in RGB color mode 2 . Your photo is in 8bit color mode 3 . You are running the English version of Photoshop. 4 . If you are experiencing errors, try resetting your Photoshop preferences. To do this, hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys Mac: Command, Option, Shift while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file. 5 . Avoid using small resolution images. For the best results, use Photos between 1500px - 3000px high/wide. Chances of the action running into errors will increase the lower you go under 1000px high/wide. Photos with good color variation and contrast wil work best. 6 . Avoid brushing onto mainly black areas on a photo. The effect is not very prominant when applied to mostly dark areas of a photo. 7 . Remember that adjusting your photo resolution will determine how wide the parts spread out. If you run the action at 72DPI , then the parts will be quite close - if you run it at 300DPI , the parts will be spread much wider. Please refer to the video tutorial for a demonstration of this. 8 . If you experience an 'Out of Memory' error during the action, go to the menu 'Edit -- Purge -- All' then press play again on the action to continue it. This can happen if you have insufficient memory installed on your computer. Photoshop can chew up lots of memory!
